windfarm text The group claimed that their goals were-

Furness Abbey http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.asp?compid=38348#n76
 * To fight against the windfarm at Far Old Park Farm, Ireleth, Cumbria, the ultimate goal being its removal.
 * To force the developer to minimise the affects that their turbines are having on our lives in the interim.
 * To prevent the addition of further unsuitably sited turbines in this area.
 * To highlight to others the realities of living with turbines and expose the myth of them being "eco-friendly".
 * To co-ordinate with other action groups to help prevent the construction of wind turbines in other unsuitable sites.

History of Ireleth chapel http://eagle.cch.kcl.ac.uk:8080/cce/locations/CreateLocationFrames.jsp?locKey=8869

"Also (and confusingly) known as Kirkby Ireleth, as there was already a parish in the same deanery of Cartmel and Furness called Kirkby Ireleth. Dte of foundation of chapel here taken as the same as the school. In 1650 the Commonwealth Church Suvey noted, 'That the Chappell of Irleth is not farr distant from its parish Church [Dalton in Furness], but neare enough thereto, and was onely built for a schoole, and some for their perticuler ease would have the same made a Chappell', Lancashire & Cheshire Church Surveys, 1649-1655, ed. H. Fishwick, Lancs. & Ches. Rec. Soc., vol. 1 (1879), 138"

IRELETH, a chapelry, in the parish of Dalton-In-Furness, union of Ulverston, hundred of Lonsdale north of the Sands, N. division of Lancashire, 3 miles (N.) from Dalton; containing 744 inhabitants. Ogra-Mill, in this township, has been conjectured to be the Ouregrave of the Domesday survey: Roanhead is the point for crossing Dudden sands by the ancient road into Cumberland. Upon the east borders of Ireleth, also called Above Town, are the iron-mines of Whitridge, Lindal Moor, Cross Gates, and Inman Gill, the richest and most productive mines in Furness, with the exception of Cross Gates, the works of which have been suspended. Many thousand tons of ore are raised annually in the township. The living is a perpetual curacy; net income, £100; patron, the Vicar of Dalton. The chapel was built in 1608, by Giles Brownrigg, and was originally intended for a school.

There are plans to construct a crossing over the Duddon between Askam and Millom to reduce the long journey times between Furness and Copeland because of the circuitous route around the estuary. A scheme to build such a bridge is still in the planning stage but is nominated by county transport planners as a major project in the current local transport plan.

sport
Thought to be formed in 1979, the club is a member of BARLA and competes in the National Conference League Division 2.

The golf club was formed in 1905.

The most prominent surviving artefact of the Quakers is the Temperance Hall on Saves Lane, built in 1872 as a meeting house for the Society of Friends

http://users.hunterlink.net.au/~mbemdm/chapter6.html

It was founded before 1888. It is now closed, but we do not know the date of closure. Built as a Temperance Hall in 1872; shown as a Bible Christian chapel on Ordnance Survey map of 1891. Bulmer's Directory of Furness & Cartmel, c1911, suggests that it was originally established by members of the Society of Friends, although confirmation has still to be found. Disused as a Bible Christian chapel c1907; merely shown as a hall on the Ordnance Survey map of 1913. The building gradually fell into disrepair, but it was restored for social and community purposes during the 1990s.

The Bible Christians were formed in 1815 when they seceeded from the Wesleyan Methodists. In 1907 the Bible Christians merged with the United Methodist Free Church and the Methodist New Connexion to form the United Methodist Church.

In 1932 the United Methodists joined with the Wesleyan Methodists and the Primitive Methodists to form the Methodist Church of Great Britain.

Geology
The types of rocks found in an area depend on the conditions, such as climate, which existed when they were formed. The rocks and minerals found in Cumbria are widely varied, reflecting changes that have taken place over hundreds of millions of years.

The oldest rocks in the Lake District are the Skiddaw slates, in the north and the west. There are hard volcanic rocks in the central area, around Borrowdale for example, which were laid down around 460 million years ago, and are evident today in the craggy mountains. There are further areas of slate covering parts of South Cumbria, including Coniston, Kendal, Cartmel, and Ireleth. Black Combe is a major outcrop of dark grey slate.

Softer rocks were pushed out from the central Lake District during the Ice Age, forming long valleys as the ice flowed southwards, and later allowing the formation of great lakes such as Windermere and Coniston Water. Clay was formed from the finely ground "rock flour" that resulted from glaciation. The last glacial period ended in the Lake District only 10,000 years ago. The relatively young sedimentary rocks found around the rim of the Lake District are mostly sandstone and limestone.

The rocks themselves and the minerals within them were crucial to the development of many Lake District towns and villages. Buildings were often constructed from slate, sandstone and limestone mined locally. Industries developed to exploit the rocks and minerals: copper and slate at Coniston; green slate at Elterwater; lead, zinc and granite at Blencathra; sandstone at St Bees; dark blue slate at Kirkby Moor and Ireleth; white limestone at Stainton; shale (which is mixed with water and fired to make building bricks) at the Furness Brick works at Askam; and iron ore at Lindal, Marton and elsewhere around Furness.
