CAUTLEY, a hamlet and a chapelry in Sedbergh parish, W. R. Yorkshire. The hamlet lies among grand mountain scenery, adjacent to Westmoreland, in the vicinity of Sedbergh. A waterfall here, called Cautley Spout, makes three descents, of aggregately about 860 feet, between such screens, precipices, and cliffs, that those on one side can be scaled only by much care and effort, and those on the other not at all.—The chapelry includes also the hamlet of Dowbiggin; was constituted in 1853; and bears the name of Cautley and Dowbiggin. Post Town, Sedbergh, under Kendal. Pop., 276. Houses, 55. The living is a p. curacy in the diocese of Ripon. Value, £55. Patron, the Vicar of Sedbergh.
