Crosthwaite is a small village located in the Parish of Crosthwaite and Lyth, Cumbria, UK.
Village Hall
The Argles Memorial Halll was built in 1931[1] on land donated from the local landowners. It underwent a major refurbishment in 2003 and is currently used by The Exchange, children's playgroups and keep fit classes.
Exchange
The Crosthwaite Exchange was set up in February 2007[1] as a place for local people to buy and sell local produce, home baked goods, books, and meet up with other villagers. Since then, the exchange has been used by the NHS as a model for exchanges in other villages.[2]
