1786 By the Rev. John Wilson, 31 May, 1786. Whereas it is possible
that the school of Heversham and Chapel of Crosscrake may, after my
decease, be again united, being a native of Stainton and perfectly
acquainted with everything relative to the above chapel, for the
benefit or amusement of my successors I here insert the following
short account. Crosscrake chapel, when I attended to learn writing
etc. about the year 1733, was then and formerly a school (fn. 5) without one
farthing endowment, and for many years taught with much credit
and reputation by an industrious master, Mr. Wells. About the
year 1755, Dr. Keene, then Bishop of Chester, informed of the utility
of a chapel at Crosscrake paid it, at his northern Visitation, a personal
visit and finding how very useful a chapel would be in this part of the
parish procured of the Governors of the Bounty of Queen Anne £400.
This sum, till a purchase was made, being only at 40s. per cent. made
a stipend of £8 per annum. To this chapel a Mr. Ellis from Arkholme
was first ordained. He staid about two years and was succeeded by a
Mr. Hartley who quitted it in the year 1760. In March, 1760, on the
sole nomination of the present vicar of Heversham, Rev. Henry
Wilson, along with the Free School of Heversham to which I was
chosen in 1756, I was elected curate of Crosscrake. As the stipend
was yet but £8 per annum I endeavoured to make it more [by the
purchase in 1763 of land in Dillicar, (fn. 6) let for £17 per annum]. About
the year 1765, through the endeavours of the then Bishop of Chester
with Lady Gower, I got forward with a 2nd augmentation, thus:—From Lady Gower £100, from Dr. Stratford £60, from myself with
deed of gift £42 [to which the Bounty added £200]. With this £400
I made a purchase of an estate in Killington called Beckside . . . .
now rented at £16 per annum. About the year 1772 on my third
application to the bishop [Lady Gower advancing £200] I bought an
estate called Mackreth Hill, in the parish of Sedbergh, and a rentcharge issuing out of an estate in Garsdale called Garsdale Foot. Till
the year 1773 I officiated in the old chapel. The walls and roof being
the old school and the structure very shabby and limited I applied for
a Brief. From this we received upwards of £90, with this and the
main part of a subscription in the hands of the late Alderman Shaw of
Kendal, we built the present chapel. (fn. 7) Farrer, Records of
