Cockerham One-Place Study. Image: Extract from a large-scale Ordnance Survey map showing the little village of Cockerham, and surrounding fields, roads, buildings and copses. The village is concentrated alongside a road running roughly North-South, with the Manor Inn at the Northern end and a school at the Southern end. To the North is a vicarage, to the North-west Cockerham Hall, to the South-west St Michael's church, and to the South-east Cross Houses and Cocker Houses. www.one-place-studies.org/studies/ One-Place Studies, where family history and local history unite.

The church of St Michael was once situated at the heart of #Cockerham village. Flooding was a regular problem however, and by the 1700s the settlement had been relocated to higher ground to the Northeast, leaving St Michael’s as the ‘Church in the Fields.’ #OnePlaceStudies #MapMonday

There has been a church on this site at #Cockerham since at least 1134, but the tower with embattled parapet we see today was built in 1586 and the rest of the church rebuilt twice, most recently in 1910-11. Dedicated to St Michael, the church is Grade II* listed. #SteepleSaturday #OnePlaceStudies

In front of the church is a grassy churchyard with about two dozen gravestones and a couple of chest tombs visible. There are trees growing to the left and the right, and a blue sky above.

Cockerham One-Place Study in #Lancashire has recently been registered us by our member Vicky Thompson, who will be researching the #LocalHistory of the village and the #FamilyHistory of its past residents. #OnePlaceWednesday
