Cautley
Cautley is an area and distributed community, located in the valley of the River Rawther, to the north-east of Sedbergh. It is in the ceremonial county of Cumbria and within the Westmorland and Furness unitary authority area. Cautley Road (A683), runs between Sedbergh and Kirkby Stephen; there is a 19th century milestone by the road at Cautley. The Cross Keys Temperance Inn, dating from the 17th century, is located on the road, by the path to Cautley Spout waterfall. Historically, Cautley and Dowbiggin was an ecclesiastical district, covering a wide geographical area, in the township and ancient parish of Sedbergh, and part of the West Riding of Yorkshire. A Wesleyan Chapel was built here in 1845 and St Mark's CofE Church in Cautley opened in 1847. Roger Lupton was born in Cautley in 1456, and went on to become Provost of Eaton College, and founded Sedbergh School in 1525.
