Grange-over-Sands is a town and civil parish on Morecambe Bay – with a wide tidal range, hence the sands name – roughly midway between Barrow-in-Furness and Kendal in Cumbria, England. Grange-over-Sands was created as an urban district in 1894 and lies historically within Lancashire. In 1974 Cumbria was created under Local Government re-organisation which absorbed the area referred to as Lancashire North of the Sands or North Lonsdale. Grange is now in South Lakeland District. The town remains part of the County Palatine of Lancashire and is part of the Duchy of Lancaster.
Grange-over-Sands developed in the Victorian era from a small fishing village, and the arrival of the railway made it a popular seaside resort on the north side of Morecambe Bay, across the sands from Morecambe. The 'over-Sands' suffix was added in the late 19th or early 20th century by the local vicar, who was fed up with his post going to Grange in Borrowdale near Keswick.
The clean, sea air was believed to be of benefit to tuberculosis sufferers, and in 1891 one of the first sanatoriums in the country was established at Meathop. Not only was the air believed to have a therapeutic effect but also the local spring water. There is one primary school, Grange-over-Sands Church of England Primary School. There is no secondary school, so most pupils attend the school in Cartmel or Milnthorpe . There is also a small nursery school.
Adjacent to Grange are Lindale, to the north-east, Cartmel to the north-west, with its priory to which the village was once the 'grange' or farm, and Allithwaite to the west. The country house Holker Hall, which was built on land which once belonged to the priory, is nearby. Until its move to Backbarrow in 2010, the stables at Holker Hall housed the Lakeland Motor Museum.
Grange-over-Sands railway station, which serves the town, was opened by the Ulverston and Lancaster Railway on 1 September 1857 and is now served by the Furness Line, giving connections to Ulverston and Barrow-in-Furness to the west, and Lancaster, Preston and Manchester (and its airport) to the east.
The main road access is the A590, which runs between the M6 and Barrow-in-Furness. Before the building of the railway, the main way of reaching Grange was the road across the Sands of Morecambe Bay from Hest Bank.

Holker Hall in May
It is five years since the last visit to Holker Hall and it is a wonderful place in Cumbria near to Grange-over-Sands. It is home to the Cavendish family who live there and some rooms are open to the public but no photography is allowed inside. There is also Courtyard Cafe, Gift Shop and Food Hall as well as a Children’s Play Area. Sorry that I put the incorrect name on the statue, the name should be Inigo Jones a well known architect. Please view in HD if possible.

Cartmel is a village in Cumbria, England, 2.2 miles north-west of Grange-over-Sands and close to the River Eea. The village was once known as Kirkby in Cartmel, as it was the location of the church for the large parish of Cartmel. It is the location of the 12th century Cartmel Priory. Historically in Lancashire, boundary changes brought it into the newly created county of Cumbria in 1974.
The village has more recently become known as the home of sticky toffee pudding. This can be purchased in various sizes from the Cartmel Village Shop. Its racecourse hosts popular meetings two or three times a year, traditionally in Whit Week. The ancient parish was traditionally known as the Land of Cartmel - an area quite separate from the Furness peninsula. Holker Hall, associated with the Cavendish family and the Dukes of Devonshire, is located within the original boundaries of the parish.
The village is served by the nearby Cark and Cartmel railway station opened in 1857 by the Ulverston and Lancaster Railway and which is currently served by the Furness Line. Cartmel College at the University of Lancaster is named after the Cartmel Peninsula. Recently, Cartmel has become noted for Simon Rogan's Michelin-starred restaurant, L'Enclume.
There are also several gift shops through the village including Hales Chocolates and Perfect English. In Unsworth's Yard there is a new micro brewery, Cartmel Cheeses and an artisan bakery. Visitors can take a tour around Cartmel Park on a Lakeland Segway have a horse-drawn carriage ride provided by Cartmel's Black Horses. Cartmel Fell is a civil parish, hamlet, and one of Wainwright's Outlying Fells, about 7 miles north of Cartmel. Cartmel CofE Primary School is the village primary school. Cartmel Priory CofE School takes pupils aged 11–16 from around the Cartmel Peninsula.

The Wye Valley Our Heritage dvd Introduction & Ross on Wye
The river Wye runs from the mountains of Mid Wales, forms the border between England and Wales and then empties into the mighty Severn Estuary at Chepstow in South Wales. The Wye Valley Our Heritage dvd, which covers the most beautiful part of this great historic river valley from Ross on Wye to the Severn Bridge, is one of a series that I am producing in my retirement to capture on film the beauty and heritage of our nation.
It is Chris's aim to try and capture as much of our proud, rich heritage before it all disappears under external influences and beaurocracy, and which are both threatening to do away with our christianity based culture, morals and laws forever. We must never let that happen.
Founded on christian principles, of whatever colour or creed, Britain's heritage is fast disappearing. I want to record our heritage before it vanishes forever.
So far, in addition to the above I have produced the following value for money double dvd's:
The Lune Valley Our Heritage, covering the river Lune from the Howgill fells down through Sedbergh, Kirky Lonsdale and Lancaster to Morecambe Bay,
Bittern Country Our Heritage, covering the Arnside/Silverdale Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Carnforth and Milnthorpe. A forgotten and very beautiful part of North West England.
Morecambe Bay Our Heritage Part 1,from Fleetwood through Morecambe to a tour of one of the finest Elizabethan houses in the North West, Levens Hall and the oldest topiary gardens in Britain, by its owners Hal and Susie Bagot. .
Morecambe Bay Our Heritage part 2, from Grange over Sands, via the coast through Flookburgh, Backbarrow, Cartmel, with its famous Priory, Races and historic Holker Hall, the Lakeland Motor Museum, the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway and the historic port of Greenodd.
Morecambe Bay Our Heritage Part 3 takes us from Ulverston, Dalton, Barrow in Furness to Piel and Walney islands.
The videos feature stunning aerial videography, were all filmed in High Definition,and historic vintage films dating back to Victorian times.
I research, script, film, edit and produce the videos. I am currently filming in high definition and editing in Edius Pro.

Carnforth's 40th Anniversary of the end of British Rail Steam
Carnforth was once a very important shed on the west coast London Scottish main line. I lived next to that shed as a teenager and on the 40th Anniversary of the last British Rail steam train leaving Carnforth I was invited to go back to film a very special weekend organised as a joint venture between Railway Magazine and the current owners of the shed, West Coast Railways. Being there on the Friday as the steam trains and deisels arrived was quite an experience for me, an ex railwayman's son.
This is an excerpt from that unique film which is included in my double dvd The Lune Valley Our Heritage. Also in Bittern Country Our Heritage

St. Briavels siege & historic Whittingham Purse from The Wye Valley Our Heritage dvd
St. Briavels, with its castle and ancient tradition of The Whittingham Purse, is an historic village on the English bank of the Wye Valley. This clip features a reenactment of a famous siege which took place on the castle between Royalists and Parliamentarians under the command of Oliver Cromwell.
The sequence is taken from The Wye Valley Our Heritage dvd, one of a series of Our Heritage dvd's which I have produced to introduce the heritage and beauty of Britain. So far, in addition to the latter, I have researched, filmed, edited and produced The Lune Valley Our Heritage, Bittern Country Our Heritage, which is about the Arnside/Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the fringes of Morecambe Bay just south of the English Lake District, Morecambe Bay Our Heritage Part 1, which covers the southern coast from Fleetwood via Morecambe to the Elizabethan Levens hall and its oldest topiary garden in Britain. Morecambe Bay Our Heritage Part 2 covering the northern coast from Grange over Sands through Flookburgh, Cartmel with its famous Priory, Races and Holker Hall, the Lakeland Motor Museum, Stott Park Bobbin Mill, the Lakeside Havertwaite Railway to Greenodd.
Morecambe Bay Our Heritage Part 3 takes us from Ulverston, through Dalton, Barrow in Furness as well as to Piel and Walney islands. The latest ones have been filmed in high definition.
In my retirement I have an ambition to show as much of the heritage and beauty of my country as I can before our chritianity based way of life is swept away by external religions, influences and regulations.
