The name "Rottington" means 'Farm/settlement connected with Rot(t)a'.[2] In 1762 the area became the property of Sir James Lowther.[3] Rottington was a township in the parish of St Bees,[4] in 1866 Rottington became a civil parish in its own right. On 1 April 1934 the parishes of Preston Quarter and Sandwith were merged into Rottington and Whitehaven.[5] On 1 April 1974 the parish was abolished and merged with St Bees.[6]
