REAGILL, a hamlet (formerly a chapelry) in the
parish of CROSBY-RAVENSWOHTH, WEST ward, county
of WESTMORLAND, 3 miles (N. E.) from Shap. The
population is returned with the parish. There are no
vestiges of the chapel, except in the names of certain
enclosures, such as Chapel-Garth, Chapel-Lands, &c.
The Rev. Randal Sanderson, in 1733, left £120 for the
erection of a free school here, to which the commissioners,
on the enclosure of waste lands in 1803,
awarded an allotment now let for £25 per annum, for
the support of the master, who also receives an annuity
of £5, the donation of William Twaytes, Esq.: thirty
children are instructed.
