NOTES ON LINDAL

Place names in Cumbria arise from a variety of languages and periods of history. These include Old English, spoken by the Anglo-Saxons from the 6th to 12th centuries, and Old Norse, spoken by the Norwegians who colonised north west England from the 9th to the 12th centuries.

The name Lindal (originally Lindale) is probably of Norse origin, derived from 'Linden', an alternative name for a Lime tree, and 'dale' meaning valley, ie valley of Lime trees. However, it is also possible that the name is of Celtic origin, meaning village around a deep pond.

Lindal and Marton are in an area that was once known as 'Dalton and Plain Furness'. This was a fertile land, and considerable-sized plots were brought into cultivation by the monks, using the latest scientific techniques. Both villages exhibit the ancient pattern of settlements in such areas, originally concentrated around tarns. Marton was recorded as a grange (a farm of about 100 acres) belonging to Furness Abbey in 1190. Lindal-in-Furness was recorded as a grange of Furness Abbey in 1220, and it is known that iron ore mining took place in the Lindal Moor area at that time. There are references to iron mining at Marton in 1396, when William de Merton granted rights to the Abbott and monks of Furness Abbey to freely dig for minerals in his lands at Merton. Furness Abbey was dissolved in 1537, and its lands were annexed to the Duchy of Lancaster by Act of Parliament in 1540.
