Wood House
Wood House,
Longsleddale

Wood House, occasionally called Parsonage House, was situated close to the road, south-east of the church, at about NY50150280. It is shown as a "housestead" on the Kendal Corn Rent map of 1836 (which also shows the barn at NY5023 0284 as a "homestead"). It was lived in up to 1878, often by the vicar. The site is in the grounds of the Vicarage built in 1863. There is no building here now.
Baptism, marriage, burial, post-1841 census and school records imply residence at the house unless otherwise stated. Other records may record "ownership" or "occupation", which do not necessarily mean residence at that house. The term "absent" is used for people having an interest in a property here, but known to live outside the parish.
