 |  | Langdale is a parish in Kendal Ward to the West of the county, and in the Lake District. It was formerly part of Grasmere parish. It adjoins with Cumberland, Lancashire and Rydal. |
"Langdale is divided into Great Langdale and Little Langdale... The chapel stands in Great Langdale, but it belongs also to Little Langdale and Baisbrow. In Little Langdale is a place called Chapel mire, where it is said a chapel formerly stood, which was removed and united to that of Great Langdale. Basebrowne (as it was anciently called) is within the constablewick of Langdale."
