Lifeboat Station

The lifeboat station, built in the mid-19th century, consists of a pair of lifeboat houses made from snecked rubble with cut sandstone quoins and dressings. The southern house features a Lakeland slate roof that has been patched with Welsh slate, while the northern house has a Welsh slate roof. The southern lifeboat house is longer and includes an outshut on the north side. Each house has boarded double doors at both ends, which are set under timber lintels with small windows above. The gables have plain bargeboards, with the northern house also featuring moulded finials and pendants. Each house has three chamfered windows on each side wall; the southern house has a blocked doorway with an inserted window at the west end of the outshut and a chamfered window at the east end. All openings are framed with alternating-block surrounds.

This structure holds local historical significance, as one lifeboat was provided by the Duke of Northumberland in the 1850s, and the second was supplied a little later by the Pease family, who had their summer residence at Nether Grange in the village, specifically for the protection and rescue of bathers.
