Allithwaite Upper Parish Council
October 4, 2008 | Leave a Comment
The Parish of Allithwaite Upper comprises the villages of Lindale, Low and High Newton, Cumbria, Â with a population of 824 according to the 2001 census.Â
Lindale’s major claim to fame is that it was the former home to John Wilkinson who built the world’s first iron ship. John Wilkinson, an ironmaster lived at nearby Castle Head, a mansion once housing St Mary’s college.
In the 1700s he and his father, Isacc, began an iron industry in the village.
A memorial to him sits near the crossroads on the way to Grange.

Lindal and Marton community website
September 8, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Place names in Cumbria arise from a variety of languages and periods of history. These include Old English, spoken by the Anglo-Saxons from the 6th to 12th centuries, and Old Norse, spoken by the Norwegians who colonised north west England from the 9th to the 12th centuries.
The name Lindal (originally Lindale) is probably of Norse origin, derived from 'Linden', an alternative name for a Lime tree, and 'dale' meaning valley, ie valley of Lime trees. However, it is also possible that the name is of Celtic origin, meaning village around a deep pond.

Caldbeck
September 7, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Caldbeck is situated just outside of Carlisle in the NW of England.
It has recently been put on the map by being one of only two sites in the country to require the building of a new TV mast for Digital TV.
Caldbeck Parish lies at the foot of the Northern Fells. Carrock Fell, High Pike, and Longlands overlook it, with the peak of Skiddaw sometimes visible beyond. It stretches from High Intack in the west to Haltcliff Bridge in the east and from the north at Blue Gate to the south at Linewath.
Caldbeck Parish is within the jurisdiction of Allerdale Borough Council and most of it, only excluding a small section north of the village of Caldbeck, lies within the Lake Distict National Park.
Caldbeck Parish is a beautiful and quiet rural area. It is popular with tourists, walkers and cyclists and is a very desirable place to live and bring up children, or to retire to from more crowded rural districts. It is difficult to believe that it was one of the most industrialised parts of England.

August 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment
The roughly circular parish of Thrupp encompasses the villages of Thrupp and Brimscombe and the hamlets of Upper and Lower Bourne, Lypiatt, Quarhouse, the Heavens and Claypits.
The villages of Thrupp and Brimscombe straddle the Thames and Severn canal, the River Frome and the A419.
There is no church within the Parish.
The Parish is divided ecclesiastically between the Parishes of the Holy Trinity, Stroud, Holy Trinity, Brimscombe, and Christ Church, Chalford.
The congregation from the old Mission Chapel worship regularly at the Social Centre.
A bus runs every Sunday for worshippers at Holy Trinity, Stroud and the Roman Catholic Church at Beeches Green.
The Methodists worship at their chapel in Brimscombe Hill and the Brimscombe Parish Church is situated in the same locality. Other Church of England members worship at Christ Church, Chalford.
The Great Western Railway line bounds the parish on the western side.
The boundary then follows the Toadsmoor road in the East, cutting across farmland to Lypiatt and down to Claypits and crosses the canal to the railway line.
Newsletters can be found here . It looks like the newsletter section has not been updated since October 2007
