In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Upper Rawcliffe like this:
RAWCLIFFE (Upper)-WITH-TARNACRE, a township, with a village, in St. Michael-on-Wyre parish, Lancashire; on the river Wyre, 3¾ miles S W of Garstang. Acres, 3, 743. Real property, £5, 233. Pop., 682. Houses, 117. The property is divided chiefly among five. The manor belongs to the Earl of Derby. The parish church and a national school are here.
The location is where the name "Upper Rawcliffe" appears as part of the name of the parish "Upper Rawcliffe with Tarnacre". There is no settlement called Upper Rawcliffe, the main settlement of the parish being St Michaels on Wyre.
