Outhgill

Outhgill can be found close to the centre of the quiet, unspoilt Mallerstang Valley. Legend has it that the village was named aftr Uther Pendragon, Kng Arthur's father.

It has a 14th. century church, St Mary's which was rebuilt in 1663 by Lady Anne Clifford who often travelled to nearby Pendragon Castle on route between Appleby and Skipton. The graveyard contains the unmarked graves of 25 workmen who died building the Settle Carlisle railway through the valley. A monument was dedicated to them in 1997.

One of the houses used to belong to the village blacksmith, who was the father of Michael Faraday. He moved to London a year before Michael was born. One or two street names in the area bear Faraday's name.

There is a replica of the "Jews Stone", on the village green - a monument set up originally to mark the source of the river Eden. (It got its name from the inscriptions in Greek and Hebrew), as well as one of Andy Goldsworthy's "Pinfolds". A photographic record of all of these can be found on the page for Bolton.
