The village is widely recognized for its historical association with the Pendle Witches, among whom Alice Nutter stands out. It is believed that Alice Nutter, one of the accused witches, may have resided at Roughlee Old Hall, although historical evidence suggests her connection to nearby Crowtrees. In 1612, she faced trial and was subsequently sentenced to hang at Lancaster Castle. Roughlee is nestled within the breathtaking landscape of the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, adding to its historical and natural allure.
