Location The parish of Field Broughton is part of the Cartmel Peninsular team ministry and is Cartmel parish’s northerly neighbour, 2½ miles from Saint Mary and Saint Michael Cartmel. This very rural parish is scattered over several small hamlets the largest of which are High Newton, Barber Green and Field Broughton. The number of dwellings in the parish is almost 300. Amenities The parish has one pub, a butcher’s and a busy abattoir and the Village Hall in High Newton. High Newton has recently been bypassed by the A590 dual carriageway, and now it is a quiet village once again. Central to the parish there is the church of St. Peter and the community Parish Rooms in Field Broughton. There is no other place of worship in the parish. Throughout there are several farms including a milk delivery service, and of course a few holiday cottages and a caravan park. The south eastern corner of the parish meets neighbouring Lindale, Grange and Cartmel parish boundaries at the Hospice viewpoint on Hampsfell.
