History
editEndmoor used to be home to a grand manor house called Enyeat. This is now the name of a nearby road and the coach house (1875) is a guest house. In 1991 the new primary school "St.Patrick's C of E School" was built by locals. It is now 'the hub' of the village offering a pre-school, parent and toddler group, parent and child activities and adult / community classes such as Art & IT.
Poet John Keats stayed the night in the village in the summer of 1818 on a walking tour through the Lakes, with the goal of meeting his hero, William Wordsworth. Keats and his walking companion, Charles Brown, walked from Lancaster along the path of the modern A65 before reaching Endmoor. The following morning they walked to Kendal.[1]
The old school, opened in 1862, has been turned into housing. It was replaced by a new school in 1991.
Local schools
editNearby secondary schools include Dallam School in Milnthorpe and Queen Elizabeth School in Kirkby Lonsdale.
