.....................................................................................................
Broughton in Furness is a market town in the civil parish of Broughton West in the Westmorland and Furness district of Cumbria, England. It had a population of 529 at the 2011 Census.[1] It is located on the south western boundary of England's Lake District National Park, and in the Furness region, which was historically part of Lancashire.
History
[edit]
Broughton in Furness is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as one of the townships forming the Manor of Hougun held by Tostig Godwinson, Earl of Northumbria.[2] Dating from around the eleventh century, the original settlement grew to become the local market town for both fishing and agriculture. Wool was particularly important for the town's development. The town was given a charter in 1575.
The Market Square was formally laid out in 1760 by John Gilpin Sawrey, the Lord of the Manor, who lived at Broughton Tower, a large mansion just a short distance from the Square. Key developments around the Market Square included the Old Town Hall.[3]
In the 1990s the A595 road was diverted in an attempt to improve the environment of the town and help it retain its rural feel.[4]
