Keswick fact #1

St. Kentigern's Church dates from A.D. 553 but is by no means our oldest artefact. Castlerigg stone circle nestled just above our team is thought to some 4,000 years old!

Keswick fact #2

The hill Hodgson How, located west of Keswick, is thought to have been a Viking Thing - meaning a place of assembly. How comes from the Old Norse word "haugr" meaning mound.

Keswick fact #3

The name of the town is first recorded in the 13th century as "Kesewic," meaning "farm where cheese is made." Cheese is still made in Keswick to this day!

Keswick fact #4

The world's first graphite pencils were made right here in Keswick in the 16th century as a result of the town's small scale mining operations.

Keswick fact #5

Edward I granted Keswick the town's charter to hold a market in 1276. The market is still held twice weekly on Thursday and Saturday to this day.
