Old Parish Boundary Post, Ackenthwaite


There is an old boundary post at the junction of the B6384 with Paradise Lane, between Ackenthwaite and Whasset. It marked the boundary between the parishes of Heversham and Beetham. The cast-iron half hexagonal boundary post dates from c.1830.[1] At that time Milnthorpe, including Ackenthwaite, was a township in the ancient parish of Heversham. The name Paradise Lane, derives from "Parish Dyke", which also marked the local boundary.[2] The boundary post is Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England.
