The "Roundhead" Village

SITUATED ON THE DUDDON ESTUARY, TO THE SOUTH OF THE LAKE DISTRICT NATIONAL PARK, KIRKBY IS A COLLECTION OF ATTRACTIVE HAMLETS  LYING ALONG SIDE THE A595, 

THE LONGEST ROAD IN THE COUNTY OF CUMBRIA

 

Kirkby residents who were actually born in the Parish of Kirkby Ireleth are given the name "ROUNDHEAD". 

This is taken from the practice in the slate quarries of rounding off the top of roofing slates. 

Some "ROUNDHEADS" refer to off comers as "SQUAREHEADS".

The alternative route was to be through Greenodd. Here is the discussion and voting held at the Planning Committee Meeting held in Kendal.

The Open Pantry provided by the Kirkby Charities is at the back of St. Cuthbert's Church.

There are three boxes – dried products, tins and jars and bathroom basics. The Open Pantry exists for those in genuine need who would benefit from some help at this time.

If you know of some one who is in need please tell them of the Pantry. Or you could collect some items for delivery. Please act considerately and responsibly. 

In the future you may be in a position where you might like to contribute to help someone else.
