Hawcoat


Hawcoat is an area in north of Barrow-in-Furness. The origins of Hawcoat are linked with the establishment of a monastic grange (farm), here on the Furness peninsula, by Furness Abbey (documented in monastic records in 1190 AD). Hawcoat developed as a separate village, and historically was also a division of the ancient parish of Dalton-in-Furness. The Division of Hawcoat covered a wide area, which extended south-west to include Walney Island, as well as the village of Hawcoat. However, the industrial town of Barrow grew rapidly in the 19th century, and Hawcoat was absorbed into the larger borough of Barrow-in-Furness in 1974.
