Natland is a parish in Kendal Ward. It was formerly part of Kendal parish. It is close by the parishes of Helsington, Crosscrake and Old Hutton.
"Natland is a small manor or lordship, containing only about 30 families [in 1777]. It seems to have had its name from the Nativi or bondmen probably placed there, as attendent upon the capital lord at Kendal castle to do servile offices, like as the inhabitants of Bongate nigh Appleby, or the Drengage tenants nigh Brougham castle. The chapelry also of Natland is commensurate to the manor.""
