In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Grange like this:
GRANGE, a village and a chapelry in Cartmel parish, Lancashire. The village stands on the Winster estuary and on the Ulverstone and Lancaster railway, overlooking Morecambe bay, 2 miles ESE of Cartmel; is in much local repute as a watering-place; and has a station on the railway, and a post office† under Newton-in-Cartmel. ...
The chapelry does not seem to have defined limits; and no statistics of it are returned. The living is a p. curacy in the diocese of Carlisle. Value, £80.* Patron, the Bishop of Carlisle. The church was built in 1853; and consists of nave, transept, and chancel, with porch and round turret.
Grange is now part of WESTMORLAND AND FURNESS Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how WESTMORLAND AND FURNESS has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Grange itself, go to Statistics.
