History The place name indicates that it was inhabited by Norsemen Norse settlers, probably before 1000 AD. It is derived from skali , meaning in Norse a wooden hut or shelter. This could well date from the time of King Harold Fairhair , who vowed revenge on the many Norsemen who had settled in Ireland and Man , causing them to flee across the sea to the Cumbrian coast some time after AD 885. Many other Norse place names are to be found, including Seascale How, Skala Haugr , the hill near the shelter , and Whitriggs, hvitihrgger the white ridge . As the Norse penetrated inland other skalar were named, so Seascale was distinguished by reference to the sea. ref The Gosforth District, C A Parker. Pub Titus Wilson Kendal, 1904 ref . The earliest written reference to Seascale is in the period 1154 1181, when a Aldwin de Seascale was witness to a deed made at Wetheral priory.
