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".

Warm Space Soup Lunch

The last Soup Lunch for the time being was held on Thursday 14th March. It was attended by twenty people who enjoyed either chicken broth or carrot and bacon soup (or both!). 

Thanks are due to Alyson from the Commercial Inn for providing the excellent soups over the winter months. Also to those who took portions to people who were unable 

to attend. Finally thanks to the Kirkby In Need Charity for financing this project. It is hoped that the Soup Lunch will begin again in October under a new name "SOUPA THURSDAY".
