Jericho was the name of the old work house which is now Fairfield hospital.
My family have been in the Birtle/Jericho area since at least the 1750's. The Suthursts originated in Yorkshire and went up to Scotland to fight for Bonny Prince Charlie and then came down to the Jericho area with the Grant brothers. They had a pub in Birtle Dean called The Bluebells of Scotland in the 1750's which serviced the mills that were there at the time, only the ruins are visible now. My great grandfather and great great grandfather had The Church Inn for many years.
