Quernmore, Forest of Bowland

A civil parish in the City of Lancaster on the edge of the Forest of Bowland, Quernmore is home to a number of farms and residential properties including barn conversions. It is situated where the Lancaster - Clitheroe road which passes through
the Trough of Bowland intersects the road from the A6 north of Garstang to Caton.
There used to be a pub here, the Dog & Partridge which later became the Temperence Hotel due to the rowdiness of navvies
working on the nearby Thirlmere Aqueduct, a 96 (154km) mile long water supply system running from the Lake District to
Manchester. The pub closed in 1900 and became the village Post Office and village store until that closed in 2008. The
building still stands and is still called the Temperence House.
The largest residential property is Quernmore Park, a Grade II listed Georgian Property set in 20 acres of land and there is a
Methodist chapel in the village and nearby is the Anglican St. Peter's Church which is about a mile (1.6km) from the village
along with Quernmore Primary School.
