History
Dunnerdale-with-Seathwaite was historically a township in the ancient parish of Kirkby Ireleth, which formed part of the Lonsdale Hundred of Lancashire.[2] The township took on civil functions under the poor laws from the 17th century onwards.[3] 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.[4]
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.[2] 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.[5][6] In 1976, Dunnerdale-with-Seathwaite was placed under a grouped parish council covering the three parishes of Angerton, Dunnerdale-with-Seathwaite, and Broughton West.[7] 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.[8]
