==History== thumb|left|The Catcliffe Glass Cone|glass cone at Catcliffe Catcliffe is mentioned in the Domesday Book, its name is presumed to mean either the cliff where the cats live, or steep river bank. In 1740 William Fenney established a glassworks here. The site was chosen, among other reasons, for being away from Fenney's glassworks in Bolsterstone, formerly owned by his mother-in-law—the terms of her will prevented him from setting up a glassworks within 10 miles of the town. One of the cones of this glassworks still exists and is the oldest surviving structure of its type in Western Europe. It is a Grade I listed building and a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
