Old Laund Booth is a civil parish in the Pendle district of Lancashire, England. It has a population of 1,459,[1] and contains the villages of Fence and Wheatley Lane.

Old Laund Booth was once a township in the ancient parish of Whalley. This became a civil parish in 1866, forming part of the Burnley Rural District from 1894 (until 1974). Until 1898 when the parish was enlarged, part of Goldshaw Booth and a detached area Higham with West Close Booth, divided the township into two parts with Fence in the eastern and Wheatley Lane and Old Laund hall in the western.[2][3] In 1935 the civil parish of Wheatley Carr Booth was abolished and the area also joined this parish.[4]

The parish adjoins the Pendle parishes of Roughlee Booth, Barrowford, Nelson, Brierfield, Reedley Hallows, Higham-with-West Close Booth and Goldshaw Booth. Higher areas of the parish, north-east of the villages are part of the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).[5]

According to the United Kingdom Census 2011, the parish has a population of 1,459,[1] a decrease from 1,586 in the 2001 census.[6]
