1. History

Dunnerdale-with-Seathwaite was historically a township in the ancient parish of Kirkby Ireleth, which formed part of the Lonsdale Hundred of Lancashire. The township took on civil functions under the poor laws from the 17th century onwards. As such, the township also became a civil parish in 1866, when the legal definition of 'parish' was changed to be the areas used for administering the poor laws. When elected parish and district councils were created under the Local Government Act 1894, Dunnerdale-with-Seathwaite was included in the Ulverston Rural District, which was renamed North Lonsdale Rural District in 1960. North Lonsdale Rural District was abolished in 1974, and Dunnerdale-with-Seathwaite became part of the South Lakeland district in the new county of Cumbria. In 1976, Dunnerdale-with-Seathwaite was placed under a grouped parish council covering the three parishes of Angerton, Dunnerdale-with-Seathwaite, and Broughton West. South Lakeland was abolished in 2023 when the new Westmorland and Furness Council was created, also taking over the functions of the abolished Cumbria County Council in the area.

Torver

Torver est un hameau dans le district South Lakeland de Cumbria (Angleterre) à 5 km au sud-ouest de Coniston et presque au bord du Coniston Water, troisième lac le plus étendu de la région. L'agriculture a toujours joué un rôle important dans l'histoire de Torver, bien que l'exploitation de l'ardoise ait augmenté lorsque le tronçon de voie ferrée de Coniston a été ouverte au XIXe siècle (fermée en 1958). De nos jours, le hameau est le point de départ de nombreuses promenades autour de la rivière Duddon et de Coniston Water (lac), une zone popularisée par William Wordsworth. L'église de St Luc a été construite en 1849 par Palay et Austin, elle remplace une autre église du XIXe qui elle-même remplaçait une chapelle du XIIe siècle.
