Baycliff
Baycliff is a village in the South Lakeland District of Cumbria in England. Historically in Lancashire, it is situated south of Ulverston, in the civil parish of Aldingham. At the centre is a village green, and many of its buildings date from the 17th and 18th centuries. There are two public houses, the ''Farmer's Arms'' and the ''Fisherman's Arms'', situated close to the green.〔(English Lakes )〕 == History == In the past Baycliff, originally spelled ''Baycliffe'', was a fishing and farming community. The industries of iron mining and local white stone quarrying provided employment for the men of the village.〔(The Cumbria Directory )〕 The iron was shipped to Backbarrow. It was the birthplace in about 1619 of the prominent Quaker preachers Alice Curwen (maiden name unknown) and her husband Thomas Curwen.〔Michael Mullett: "Curwen, Thomas (c. 1610–1680)", ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'' (Oxford, UK: OUP, 2004) (Retrieved 17 November 2015 )〕
