Nestled beneath the upland leading to Pendle Hill, Higham has connections with the infamous Witch Trials. One of the suspected witches, Alizon Device, confessed that Anne Whittle, who was known as Chattox, "was suspected of bewitching the drinke of John Moore of Higham gentleman" and caused the death of one of his sons. The poisoning of the beverage was said to have taken place in the Four Alls Inn, which is still open to this day. The Four Alls in the name is denoted on a sign, stating that 'The King rules for all, The Priest prays for all, The Soldier fights for all and The Ordinary Man pays for all.' While I can't promise you won't have your 'drinke' bewitched by a crone, I can assert that the inn serves good pub food.

Home of the NILP socielist movement with a long history of political movement towards land reform and peoples rights. The Calrion cycle clubs and ramblers have long been associated. The cafe is only open on Sundays from 10:30 - 16:00 but the grounds are always open and they welcome cyclists using the benches as a stop anytime.
