Cardewlees is a hamlet in Cumbria, England, historically part of Cumberland. It is about 4.5 miles (7 km) southwest of Carlisle.[1] It is located northwest of Dalston (of which parish it belongs to[2]), north of Cardew and northeast of Thursby, just off the A595 road.[3] A windmill located here has been converted into apartments. Thursby Manor is located nearby.[4] Cardewlees hit the headlines in 1862 when resident Sarah Carrick poisoned herself with phosphorus paste, or rat poison.[5]

Archaeologically it is known for The Cardewlees Altar.[6]

Notable people

It is the birthplace of John Wilson, an architect with the Board of Ordnance who was responsible for some of the Regency buildings in the island of Guernsey.[7]
