Background
History
Most of the residents of Allithwaite commute to Ulverston, Barrow-in-Furness, Kendal or Lancaster to work. The Anglican parish church is St. Mary's Church, built in 1864β65 and designed by the Lancaster architect Edward Graham Paley. There is a small primary school, Allithwaite Primary C of E School located next to the church. Both church and school were built by a legacy left to the village by Mary Lambert of Boarbank Hall. The village also has a pub, a post office, a children's playground and a reasonably sized playing field with a tennis court, a pump track and a bowling green.
