In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Hawcoat like this:
HAWCOAT, a village and a township in Dalton-inFurness parish, Lancashire. The village stands on an eminence, 2 miles W of Dalton; and contains a remarkable tower which commands extensive views to the Lake mountains, Fleetwood, Wales, and the Isle of Man. The township was returned in 1860 as possessing real property to the value of £41, 174; of which £33, 627 were in railways, and £28 in quarries. The manor belongs to the Duke of Buccleuch.
