In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described New Hutton like this:
HUTTON (New), a township and a chapelry in Kendal parish, Westmoreland. The township lies on the river Beetha, 3 miles ENE of Oxenholme r. station, and 4 E of Kendal. Real property, £1,603. Pop. in 1851, 157; in 1861, 127. Houses, 24. The decrease of pop. was caused by decrease of manufacture. ...
Hutton Common here contains the reservoir of the Lancaster and Kendal canal.—The chapelry includes the township of Scalthwaiterigg, Hay, and Hutton-in-the-Hay. Real property, £4,769. Pop., 631. Houses, 113. The property is much subdivided. The manor belongs to the Earl of Lonsdale. The living is a p. curacy in the diocese of Carlisle. Value, £80. Patron, the Vicar of Kendal. The church is modern. There is a free grammar school.
