Brief history

Hugill was previously joined with the Barony of Kendal, after the death of William de Lancastre III the Barony was divided into fees. Hugill fell under the category of the 'Marquis fee'. Throughout the time that Kendall was separated, according to the archives retrieved and analysed by Lancaster University "The barony was partitioned between heiresses in 1247"{{cite web|title=Cumbrian Manorial Records|url=http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/fass/projects/manorialrecords/cumbria/westmorlandlist.htm|website=Lancaster University|publisher=Department of History, Lancaster University|accessdate=26 March 2015}} by the 15th century the Marquis fee "came to the Crown by attainder of William Parr"

This specific area that Hugill fell under the category of the Marquis fee only covered a quarter of the Kendal of Barony. According to the Lonsdale Archive, the Lowther family "accumulated extensive estates, including the Lordship of numerous manors in Cumberland and Westmorland"{{cite web|title=Cumbrian Manorial Records|url=http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/fass/projects/manorialrecords/cumbria/westmorlandlist.htm|website=LancasternUniversity|publisher=Department of History, Lancaster University|accessdate=26 March 2015}} The Marquis fee was then "leased to the Lowther's after 1705."

Local Attractions

The parish is within the Lake District National Park, and includes several fells popular with fellwalkers. Reston Scar, Hugill Fell and High Knott (the location of Williamson's Monument, a Grade II listed building) are fells described in A. Wainwright's The Outlying Fells of Lakeland.

Other amenities include the Windermere Golf Club and the Hawkshead brewery hall which opened in 2010.{{cite web|title=Hawkshead Brewery|url=https://www.hawksheadbrewery.co.uk/the-beer-hall/about-the-beer-hall.aspx|website=The Hawkshead Brewery|publisher=Hawkshead Brewery 2014 – 2015|accessdate=22 April 2015}}

Development of the Churches

According to 'Nicolson and Burn' who focused on the History of the counties of Westmorland and Cumberland The chapel of Staveley, which was once a place of worship has undertaken many changes " Staveley and Hugill were originally one chapelry. But afterwards a separate chapel was erected at Ings in Hugill"{{cite web|title=Genuki hugill westmorland church history|url=http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/WES/Hugill/|website=Genuki|publisher=Mythic Beasts Ltd.|accessdate=25 March 2015}}

Considering Staveley and Hugill was once sharing the Christian place of worship the building that was once used for this process has now become a cottage holiday destination. "The Chapel has been imaginatively created from part of this former place of worship in the centre of Staveley"{{cite web|title=The Chapel ref: 129116 Staveley, Windermere, Staveley and Troutbeck Bridge|url=http://www.cumbrian-cottages.co.uk/central-southern-lakes/windermere-troutbeck-tbeck-bridge/the-chapel#.VRQDcfmsVic|website=Cumbrian Cottages|publisher=Wyndham Vacation Rentals (UK) Ltd|accessdate=26 March 2015}} Due to its location, amenities such as the local butchers and post office is "a few hundred yards from the cottage, the village is an ideal base for those not wishing to be too dependent on the car."

St Anne's church is the current main place of Christian worship in Hugill. According to the 'Listed Buildings 2010' survey, the church "dated 1743 on plaque"{{cite web|title=St Anne's Church|url=http://www.geog.port.ac.uk/webmap/thelakes/html/lgaz/lk10786.htm|website=Old Cumbria Gazetteer|publisher=Geography Department, Portsmouth University|accessdate=26 March 2015}}
