Parish History[edit | edit source]
Hawkshead St Michael was an Ancient Parish and a market town in the county of Lancashire.
"HAWKSHEAD St Michael, a market-town and a parish, in the union of Ulverston, hundred of Lonsdale north of the Sands, N. division of the county of Lancaster, 28 miles north by northwest of Lancaster, comprising the townships of Claife, Hawkshead, and Monk-Coniston with Skelwith, and the chapelry of Satterthwaite.
Here is a list of chapelries or chapels of ease built within the boundary of Hawkshead St Michael's Parish (as of 1848; see "Church Records" below for others):
In the hamlet of Hawkshead Hill is a small place of worship for Baptists which began in 1709. Methodists also have a chapel, built around 1862, and Quakers by the year 1658 in Colthouse, 3-4 miles away.[1]
