An ongoing project, a joint collaboration between the Christopher Robins Trust (CRT) and the Kirkby Lonsdale and District Civic Society (KLDCS), collects and publishes historic data from the local area. It has taken 15 months to create, design and develop a website that is dedicated to the community of Kirkby Lonsdale and the surrounding parishes.
A link to the website is provided on the 'Capturing the Past' page within the drop down menu 'WHAT WE DO' above.
Who we are
The society was established in 1972, following a successful campaign to stop the demolition of a large part of Queen's Square for development.
Kirkby Lonsdale has an extremely distinguished architectural quality and practically the whole town centre is now a Conservation Area.
The Society's remit covers Kirkby Lonsdale and its wider Rainbow parish, which includes Barbon, Casterton, Hutton Roof, Lupton, Mansergh, Middleton and Preston Patrick.
Our aims
Our aims include:
· promoting high standards of planning and architecture
· preserving and conserving and where possible developing those things which make the area special
