Harrington, Lincolnshire, England

I now have preliminary documentation, awaiting confirmation with secondary information that Harrington, Lincolnshire, England is the area that our family had the most influence. The Harrington lineage also indicates earlier areas that the "Haverington" or "Harrington" family were an influence with the most predominant area being in Lancastershire. Some areas are difficult to search since the maps have been revised over the centuries. Names such as Lincolnshire and Lancastershire are common to our county names. On the map below, Lincolnshire is located on the shores of the German Ocean, adjacent to the compass rose. Lancastershire is located northwest of Lincolnshire and situated on the Irish Sea. The community of Harrington is located in the area of the large bay at the southern end of Lincolnshire.

The parish of Harrington, located in Lincolnshire, is now largely a bedroom community for employees of the shops and offices found in Workington and Whitehaven, England. The community has a population of about 6,000. The parish consists of Harrington, High Harrington, and Salterbeck. Harrington itself has four shops, post office with a similar business district in High Harrington and Salterbeck.

One particular landmark in Harrington is the Anglican Church, St. Mary's. The Roman Catholic church in Harrington is also dedicated to St. Mary. The original Anglican, St. Mary's was constructed when the area was settled. Due to age, the church was replaced in 1854 - 1855 which is the picture below.

In later years, St. Mary's was once again refurbished and the area surrounding it landscaped in greater detail. Today, the church and surrounding area is pictured below.
