About Fencing in Broughton-in-Furness
Broughton in Furness in Cumbria has served as a local market town for the surrounding fishing and farming communities since around the 11th century, with wool proving especially important to its early development, and the town received a formal charter in 1575. The manor passed through several hands over the centuries, from the Broughton family, who lost it after Sir Thomas Broughton backed Lambert Simnel's failed 1487 rebellion against Henry VII, through the earls of Derby and eventually to the Sawrey family. The town's attractive Market Square was laid out in 1760 by John Gilpin Sawrey, then Lord of the Manor, and its ring of Georgian shopfronts dating from around that time still gives the square its distinctive character today.
