Badgergate records
Badgergate farm and cottages.
Badgergate now (2005) consists of only two properties, Badgergate Farm, (8 acres) and Badgergate Cottage, formerly three cottages. The farm has a datestone 1726, at one stage in the history there were six or seven properties/households on the site.
It is possible that the Campinots, a well-established local family built the farm in 1726, as they are first recorded there in the Parish Birth Registers in 1759. The family was large and widespread in the Lingards/Badgergate area. Members of the Campinot family remained at Badgergate until between 1861 and 1871, a period of over 100 years. The Campinots left Badgergate before the 1871 census.
From 1759:
There were three Campinot families living at Badgergate.Family 1: William and Sarah and their child Hannah, born at Badgergate 16 09 1759.
Family 2: Joseph and Hannah and their children Mary, born at Lingards 04 06 1752, Hannah born at Lingards 29 06 1754, Martha born at Lingards 06 06 1756, Sarah born at Lingards 16 09 1758 and twins Jonathan and Joseph born at Lingards 18 09 1760, this family moved to Badgergate before four more children were born. These were John born at Badgergate 23 01 1763, Luke, born at Badgergate 25 03 1764, William born at Badgergate 21 12 1766 and James born at Badgergate 27 11 1768.

There are 41 adults and 7 children living at Badgergate at this time, in a total of 10 households. All these households are before the Lingards boundary, and therefore taking the Fielding's property, the farm, as reference, must be somewhere on the farm site.
All the itinerant labourers and their families had left Badgergate before the 1881 census. This left the elderly Fielding brother and sister at the farm. The census now records 6 properties at Badgergate, possibly house 6 was part of the farmhouse.
In 1891 there are only 5 properties recorded at Badgergate, a large family, the Haighs, are living at the farm which may be a single house again.
