Caton-with-Littledale
The civil parish of Caton-with-Littledale is situated in Lancashire, England, near the River Lune. The parish lies within the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and contains the villages of Caton, Brookhouse, Caton Green, Littledale and Townend. History The original settlement of Caton was renamed Brookhouse after Brookhouse Hall and is separated from modern Caton, originally Town End, by Artle Beck. Evidence of the Roman occupation in the area is from a mill stone, eight feet long found in Artle Beck in 1803, bearing the name of the Emperor Hadrian; and further engraved stone found some time later. Archaeological, place name and other evidence attests that Norse invaders settled in the area in the tenth century (Wainwright 1975).

Geoffrey Hodgson (2008) argues that the Viking invasion of the area accounts for the relatively high frequency of the Hod ...

It is constructed in sandstone with slate roofs, and is in Gothic style. History Littledale Hall was built in 1849 for Revd John Dodson, of a Liverpool shipping family. He had been vicar of Cockerham from 1835 to 1849, but seceded from the Established Church because of the Gorham judgement George Cornelius Gorham (1787–1857) was a vicar in the Church of England.
