"A considerable part of Ulleswater, from the middle eastward, is within the manor of Barton... At the head of the said water, above Patterdale, lies the manor of Hartsop, probably so denominated from abounding with deer anciently... Descending by the water from Hartsop, we come to Patterdale, so called probably from St. Patrick, to whom the chapel seems to be dedicated. For in the bishop's register it is called Patrickdale... And nigh unto the chapel is a well called St. Patrick's well. This dale is also part of the ancient barony of Kendal.... Higher up.. is Deepdale, so called from its situation; where there are about ten families. [in 1777]"

"Patterdale, the Lordship of Roger de Lancaster, 32 Hen. III. who dying 19 Edw. I. left it with his other Estates to John de Lancaster, his Son and Heir. This John was a warlike Man, and was with his King several Times in his Wars with Scotland, in which he behaved himself with that Fidelity and Courage, that the King employed him in guarding the Marches against that Nation. He sat in Parliament among the Barons from 25 Edw. I. to the 3 Edw. II. He left no Issue, and so his Estate passed to his Sister' s Son Richard de Plaiz, then a Minor of twelve Years old, and from that Family to the Howards, Ancestors to the Dukes of Norfolk, who are spread into so many noble Families."
