... Longsleddale was one of the chapelries of Kendal Parish:
there were twenty-four altogether. It is fairly certain
there would have been a small chapel in the valley in
medieval times, for a community was active in the wool
industry by the end of the thirteenth century. In 1297 there
was a fulling-mill at Sadgill .... Although the dead would
have been taken to the parish church in Kendal for burial,
it is reasonable to suppose they would not have had to
travel so far to Mass. It is known that a chapel was rebuilt
and a graveyard consecrated in 1712, ... the present
building dedicated to the Virgin Mary, was completed in
1863, and is one of the churches of the United Benefice of
Skelsmergh, Selside and Longsleddale.
