Gaisgill, Cumbria
Gaisgill is a hamlet in Cumbria, located about 16 miles south-east of Penrith, and 1½ miles ENE of Tebay. It is situated between Ellergill Beck and Langdale Beck, which both join the River Lune to the north of the settlement. There are farms in the village (Gaisgill Farm and Holme Farm) and other farms nearby, including Gaisgill Row Farm to the west. The farmhouse at Gaisgill Farm dates from the 17th century and is a Grade II listed Building on the National Heritage List for England. New House, of 1848, is also a listed building. Station House, and The Waiting Room (now a holiday let), are reminders of the station here built by the South Durham & Lancashire Union Railway in 1861, which operated up to 1952. Chapel Mews, the main street in Gaisgill, gets it's name from the former Wesleyan Methodist chapel built here in 1841 (closed 2003). The old Reading Room (built 1909)[1] is also on Chapel Mews. Historically, Gaisgill was part of the ancient parish of Orton. Today, Gaisgill forms part of Tebay Civil Parish and is within the Westmorland and Furness Council area.
