Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox UK place Baycliff is a seaside village in the South Lakeland District of Cumbria in England. Historically in Lancashire, it lies Шаблон:Convert south of Ulverston, in the civil parish of Aldingham. At the centre is a village green, and many of its buildings date from the 17th and 18th centuries. The two public houses, the Farmer's Arms and the Fisherman's Arms, stand close to the green.[1]

History

In the past Baycliff, earlier spelt Baycliffe, was a fishing and farming community. The industries of iron mining and local white stone quarrying provided employment for the men of the village.[2] The iron was shipped to Backbarrow.

The village was the birthplace in about 1619 of the prominent Quaker preachers Alice Curwen (maiden name unknown) and her husband Thomas Curwen.[3]

Limestone

Baycliff limestone is still produced; the quarry beds produce two distinct stones. Lord is oatmeal coloured with dark cream markings; Caulfield is a buff stone with light coffee mottling. Both are versatile materials, used to create distinctive, durable floors and paving schemes, and in landscaping designs.[4]
