Background
History
In the past, the Wood has been much smaller than it is today. In Thomas Jeffrey's 1770 map of Westmorland, Flakebridge Wood appears to be only a third of its current size. There is no empirical survey evidence of Flakebridge Wood existing before this point, however possible woodland is featured on Christopher Saxton’s 1579 map of Westmorland and Cumberland in the modern Flakebridge area. The Hamlet is not marked or cannot be found in any historic maps, as a result, the Hamlet's date of founding or history remains unknown.
