Endmoor is a small village in the south of Westmorland, on the A65 road about five miles south of Kendal, and just west of the course of the M6 motorway, in the Parish of Preston Patrick.
This is a modest community, with small businesses including a shop, club inn, village school, village hall and bakery. A famous millennium clock stands on the green and there is a playground for the children.
About the village
The parish church is St Patrick's Church at Preston Patrick, a mile to the south of Endmoor.
Not far from the church, beside the M6, Preston Patrick Hall dates probably from the late 14th century, comprising the remains of a mediæval tower house altered in the 17th century.[1]

History
A grand manor house called Enyeat used to stand in Endmoor. This is now remembered only in the name of a nearby road. The coach house (built in 1875) is a guest house.
In 1991 a new primary school, St Patrick's C of E School, was built. It now provides a social hub for the village, with community groups and classes meeting in he premises. The old school, opened in 1862, has been turned into housing.
