SLEDDALE (LONG), a chapelry in that part of
the parish of KENDAL which is in KENDAL ward,
county of WESTMORLAND, 8 miles (N. by W.) from
Kendal, containing 185 inhabitants. The living is a
perpetual curacy, in the archdeaconry of Richmond,
and diocese of Chester, endowed with £600 royal
bounty, and in the patronage of the Land-owners.
The chapel was rebuilt in 1712. A school, termed the
Chapel school, is supported by the Hon. F. G. Howard,
lord of the manor, who allows £15 a year to the master.
Here are quarries bf a fine blue slate, situated
amid mountain scenery of the most romantic and picturesque
character.
