Aldingham
Aldingham is a village and civil parish in the South Lakeland district of Cumbria, England. Historically in Lancashire, it is situated on the east coast of the Furness peninsula, facing into Morecambe Bay, and is about east of Barrow in Furness, and south of Ulverston. The parish includes the nearby villages of Baycliff, Dendron, Leece, Gleaston, Newbiggin, Roosebeck, Scales and a number of smaller hamlets. According to the 2001 census the parish had a population of 1,187,〔(Office for National Statistics : ''Census 2001 : Parish Headcounts : South Lakeland'' ) Retrieved 25 January 2010〕 reducing to 1,105 at the 2011 Census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Parish population 2011 )〕
==History==
The village was mentioned in the Domesday Book as a separate manor belonging to a local man named Ernulf. The name is thought to be from the Old English meaning 'home of the family or followers of Alda'.〔Mills, A.D. (2003) A Dictionary of British Place-Names, Oxford〕 Local folklore has it that the village was once much larger—almost a mile in length—but was washed away by the tide.
From the early 12th century, Aldingham was the manorial seat of the Lords of Aldingham (later known as the manor of Muchland) and the sites of two early manor houses lie around a mile south of the present village. The first and most visible is Aldingham Motte, which was begun as a ringwork before 1102 by Roger the Poitevin and was later enlarged into a motte and bailey castle by the le Fleming family.〔Salter, M. (1998) The Castles and Tower Houses of Cumbria, Folly Publications, p.12〕 It can still be clearly seen atop a sandy cliff overlooking Morecambe Bay. In 1127 a Michael le Fleming is recorded as being lord of Aldingham. A kinsman of Baldwin, Earl of Flanders, he was sent by King Rufus to take charge of the area around the village. The castle mound is nearly high and was about in diameter at the top.
A little further north, and now surrounded by Moat Farm is a rectilinear moat, which probably marks the site of a 13th-century hall. The site would have been abandoned when the Lords of Aldingham moved further inland to Gleaston in the 14th century.〔Farrer, W. & Brownbill, J. (eds) (1914) Victoria County History of Lancashire, Vol. 8, pp 320-328〕 The manor of Aldingham passed to the Harringtons when Agnes, a descendant of Michael le Fleming, married Robert de Harrington. In 1340 Sir John de Harrington had the king's licence to enclose of lands, woods and marsh into a park, almost certainly Gelaston.〔
