Background
History
Craven in the Domesday Book of 1086 shows that until 1066, Earl Tostig was Lord of Beetham and the surrounding areas of Farleton, Preston Richard, Hincaster, Heversham and Levens in Cumbria, plus Yealand Redmayne and Borwick in Lancashire. Beetham Manor then amounted to 25 carucates (ca. 3000 acres/1250ha) of ploughland. The Norman Conquest of England added it to the extensive lands of Roger de Poitou.
