BURNESIDE, KENDAL, LA9 6QF

History of the Green
The name Burneside comes from the de Burneshead family that occupied the Hall now known as Burneside Hall and has been occupied since the 1200's.

Other Features
A set of leaf-shaped metal seats are set in the grass.

Nature & Wildlife
The Green has otters and the native white clawed crayfish.

Fundraising and Finance
The main funds to operate the Green are supplied by the Parish Council, who replaced a grant for grasscutting with the service of grasscutting to save the VAT and a local charity, The Anglers Inn Trust, whose contribution  pays for the Insurance and other ongoing expenses. The general maintenance of the Green is done by volunteers. Therefore, Burneside does not usually do any fundraising.
