Hawrigg (Hawkrigg) Primitive Methodist chapel
The opening of a new Primitive Methodist chapel in the Barrow circuit at Hawrigg is described by M Moseley in the Primitive Methodist magazine.
In 1869 a revival broke out and fifty people were converted. As a result, a chapel was erected which seated 150. It soon had a flourishinig Sunday school.
Where was Hawrigg? Was it Hawkrigg near New Hutton/Kendal? If so, I can find no Primitive Methodist chapel in the Ordnance Survey maps of the 18902.
Suggestions very welcome

Haverigg is a clear possibility: thanks for the suggestion Mark. We need something to provide more evidence for this, such as a date of the chapel opening from a different source.
I don’t know what the source was but is there any chance this is simply a misspelling or misreading of Haverigg, which would certainly have been on the Barrow circuit?
