THE history of Westmorland village Ings with Hugill is brought to life in a new, revised edition of the book Ings with Hugill.
A small parish it may be, but it is steeped in history and Elisabeth and Spencer Crookenden, who pieced together the story, reveal a rich and vibrant past.
Ings has long been on the map - indeed Ings has been on a major road since Roman times, when the A591 was known as The Tenth Antonine Iter, meaning Route Ten.
The book chronicles life in the parish through to modern day and the church, rebuilt in 1743, is right at the heart of
daily life.
The book itself has been published in aid of Ings Parish Hall Project, a major effort to upgrade the hall, which is used almost every day by people from a wide area.
The book is on sale at shops and hotels in Ings and Staveley, or by post from The Crookendens, Reston Hall, Staveley, Cumbria, LA8 9PT, at £5 plus 40p postage.
