A History of Warton Parish – John Lucas.

The history of Warton written by John Lucas (1684-1750) is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of our parish.

The original, handwritten version of the book is kept in the County Record office in Preston. It was abridged and published for the first time in 1931. The most recent edition with drawings by Milnthorpe artist Daphne Lester and a new introduction was published in 2017 and is reproduced with the permission of its editor, Andy Denwood.

A digital copy (pdf) is available here.
