  • History of St. Pauls
    St. Paul’s Church St. Paul’s Church, is a plain Gothic church, with straight headed windows with round-arched lights in the Henry VIII tradition. The construction shows a massive profession of faith in the past. (1) It has always been the centre of village life since 1671 when it was consecrated, although it had been built around 1669. More so in 1900 than it is in the year 2000, when we celebrate the birth of Christ, it has to be said, but nevertheless it still holds its place. Witherslack seceded from Beetham in 1811 to become a parish in its own right. Meathop and Ulpha, which were also in the Parish of Beetham, were joined to Witherslack as a parish in 1891. After a lot of argument with the Vicar, the tithes went to Beetham until the Incumbency changed. John Barwick bequeathed money in his Will to provide a new burial ground because hitherto the dead had been carried on a perilous journey, particularly during the winter months, across the treacherous sands of the tidal estuary to the mother church of Beetham for burial. St. Mary's church situated near to the Manor House was in a 'ruinous state' after the Civil War. Therefore Peter Barwick and the parishioners petitioned the Bishop of Chester for a new church and burial ground and the present chapel of ease was built on land granted by Charles eighth Earl of Derby and consecrated by the Bishop of Chester in June 1671. Money was also left to provide for a school, no doubt remembering the journeys he had made to school with his brother (first to Heversham and then to Sedbergh).

  • Westmoreland in the Late Seventeenth Century by Colin Phillips
    WESTMORLAND ABOUT 1670 BY COLIN PHILLIPS Topography and climate This volume prints four documents relating to the hearth tax in Westmorland1. It is important to set these documents in their geographical context. Westmorland, until 1974 was one of England’s ancient counties when it became part of Cumbria. The boundaries are shown on map 1.2 Celia Fiennes’s view in 1698 of ‘…Rich land in the bottoms, as one may call them considering the vast hills above them on all sides…’ was more positive than that of Daniel Defoe who, in 1724, considered Westmorland ‘A country eminent only for being the wildest, most barren and frightful of any that I have passed over in England, or even Wales it self. ’ It was a county of stark topographical contrasts, fringed by long and deep waters of the Lake District, bisected by mountains with high and wild fells. Communications were difficult: Helvellyn, Harter Fell, Shap Fell and the Langdale Fells prevented easy cross-county movement, although there were in the seventeenth century three routes identified with Kirkstone, Shap, and Grayrigg.3 Yet there were more fertile lowland areas and 1 TNA, Exchequer, lay subsidy rolls, E179/195/73, compiled for the Michaelmas 1670 collection, and including Kendal borough. The document was printed as extracts in W. Farrer, Records relating to the barony of Kendale, ed. J. F. Curwen (CWAAS, Record Series, 4 & 5 1923, 1924; reprinted 1998, 1999); and, without the exempt, in The later records relating to north Westmorland, ed. J. F.
