About Us
Cartmel Village Society is a voice for our village. It began life in 1993 as a means of conserving and celebrating the heritage of the village. With the aid of a generous legacy, it was relaunched in 2008 with the resources not only to conserve and celebrate our wonderful village but also to help to ensure that the village is a vibrant place in which to live, work and visit.
Intro to Cartmel
The village of Cartmel is unique and precious. Dynamic schools, innovative businesses, the finest church building in the South Lakes, and an historic setting in thrilling countryside. The Village Society exists to celebrate all these great things whilst ensuring that change is both sustainable and enhancing. The quality of life here matters for residents and visitors alike.
Don't forget Dr Alan Crosby's lecture will be held at the Village Hall tonight at 7pm. Here's a little teaser from the man himself of what we might expect...
"It might well give perspectives on the history of Cartmel and its place on the north shore of the bay that many people won't have considered - some 'might have beens' and 'what ifs' - and some elements of local history, which were once so important and are now vanished..."
Intrigued yet? We hope to see you there later to find out more! It's free admission, but just email e.cameron1@btinternet.com or text 07929 833528 to reserve your place.

I apologise profusely that we had to carry on trying to connect our residents in the supper room tonight. We had a real breakthrough via the CEO at ENW which meant tonight we could directly fast track our residents still off grid by calling through individual property details to a manager organising vans to go out to fix them. It involved multiple phone calls to collect in all the data and pass it on to ENW but tonight over half of the properties are back on. Thank you for your patience ♥️
Thanks to @The Mail for previewing this Friday's annual lecture: www.nwemail.co.uk/news/19748670.take-2-000-year-journey-history-morecambe-bay/
"Cartmel audiences have always produced really good feedback. 👏 I'm always tremendously impressed by the sheer quantity and diversity of local history research that goes on in and around Cartmel, and I know I draw upon that in my own work."
Dr. Alan Crosby
There's still time to register for Friday's lecture with Dr Crosby at the Village Hall. We're looking forward to seeing you there and giving him a very warm Cartmel welcome!
