Ireleth-Askam history (FAQs) Kirkby Ireleth parish is centred on St Cuthbert's Church at Kirkby-in-Furness and extends north and north-west towards Seathwaite. The name Kirkby is not uncommon and so (like the many Broughtons) it adopted the additional name of a larger nearby centre (Ireleth) to distinguish it from, say, Kirkby Lonsdale. The Norsemen who came to Furness were not the coastal raiders so famous in history books, but came from the Isle of Man.
