History

The name Golborne means "marigold stream" and likely derives from the Old English words golde (marigold) and burna (a stream). During the thirteenth century, David de Golberne held this part,^[5] with the remainder known as Golborne Bellow.

Golborne was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Colburne,^[6] with ownership divided between William Malbank and Osbern, son of Tezzo. The entry lists eight households.^[7]

Golborne David was a township within Handley parish of Broxton Hundred, which became a civil parish in 1866. The population was recorded at 62 in 1801, 74 in 1851, 67 in 1901, 59 in 1951 and decreasing slightly to 55 by 2001.^[2]
