It has produced two ambitious Parish Plans, which have set out "aspirations for the future." that are concerned with improving the environment, public transport, highways, village facilities housing and general development [4]

Brief history

Hugill was previously joined with the Barony of Kendal, after the death of William de Lancastre III the Barony was divided into fees. Hugill fell under the category of the 'Marquis fee'. Throughout the time that Kendall was separated, according to the archives retrieved and analysed by Lancaster University "The barony was partitioned between heiresses in 1247" [5] by the 15th century the Marquis fee "came to the Crown by attainder of William Parr" [5] This specific area that Hugill fell under the category of the Marquis fee only covered a quarter of the Kendal of Barony. According to the Lonsdale Archive, the Lowther family "accumulated extensive estates, including the Lordship of numerous manors in Cumberland and Westmorland" [6] The Marquis fee was then "leased to the Lowther's after 1705." [6]

Local Attractions

The parish is within the Lake District National Park, and includes several fells popular with fellwalkers. Reston Scar, Hugill Fell and High Knott (the location of Williamson's Monument, a Grade II listed building) are fells described in A. Wainwright's The Outlying Fells of Lakeland .

Development of the Churches

According to 'Nicolson and Burn' who focused on the History of the counties of Westmorland and Cumberland The chapel of Staveley, which was once a place of worship has undertaken many changes " Staveley and Hugill were originally one chapelry. But afterwards a separate chapel was erected at Ings in Hugill" [8] Considering Staveley and Hugill was once sharing the Christian place of worship the building that was once used for this process has now become a cottage holiday destination. "The Chapel has been imaginatively created from part of this former place of worship in the centre of Staveley" [9] Due to its location, amenities such as the local butchers and post office is "a few hundred yards from the cottage, the village is an ideal base for those not wishing to be too dependent on the car." [9] St Anne's church is the current main place of Christian worship in Hugill. According to the 'Listed Buildings 2010' survey, the church "dated 1743 on plaque" [10]

Staveley Fell is an upland area in the English Lake District, near Staveley-in-Cartmel, Cumbria, east of the southern end of Windermere. It is the subject of a chapter of Wainwright's book The Outlying Fells of Lakeland, but he admits that: "Strictly it has no name, not even locally, being referred to on Ordnance maps as Astley's and Chapel House Plantations, which are new forests severely encroaching upon it". He says it "commands a fine aerial view of the foot of Windermere." The fell reaches 870 feet (270 m) and Wainwright's route is a clockwise loop starting from Staveley-in-Cartmel. Chris Jesty in his revised edition of Wainwright's book provides an alternative route and comments that "There must be many people who, encouraged by the ordnance Survey map, or by the first edition of this book, have ... been turned back by an uncrossable fence."
