Hornby Castle & Kirkby Lonsdale

Hornby Castle and Devil's Bridge, Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria -------------------------- The Hornby Castle estate was the major coal owner and operator in the lower Lune Valley in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The documentary evidence indicates that it was connected with the mining of coal at the following sites, with some periods of stoppage and closure, between the dates indicated below: Farleton 1580 to 1836 (and possibly until 1850), Tatham Collieries 1640 to 1840, Clintsfield 1772 to 1855, Smear Hall 1780 to 1822, Salter Roeburndale mines 1786 to 1845 The Hornby Castle Estate extended to Tatham in the east to part of Quernmore, Ellel and Bolton-le-Sands in the west, covering many of the places where the minor coals are found. Therefore the men, who owned or ran the estate must figure regularly in coal mining activities from the early date mentioned above , to when mining ceased in the late 19th century, even though the extent of the estate’s lands had somewhat diminished by the late 18th century when compared with that recorded in circa 1580. In the 18th century, the estate was owned by Francis Charteris, the Earl of Wemys, until purchased after 1782 by John Marsden of Wennington Hall. He remained the first three decades of the 19th century and lived at Hornby Castle.

This magnificent three-arched bridge, probably dates from the 12th or 13th century, and is now a scheduled ancient monument. A popular haunt for motorcycle enthusiasts who congregate at weekends in the adjoining parking area to discuss all things mechanical over a mug of hot tea and a bacon butty, Devil’s Bridge was once the only bridge over the Lune for miles and formed part of the busy west-bound route into the town."
