Hugill was previously joined with the Barony of Kendal, after the death of William de Lancastre III the Barony was divided into fees. Hugill fell under the category of the 'Marquis fee'.Throughout the time that Kendall was separated, according to the archives retrieved and analysed by Lancaster University "The barony was partitioned between heiresses in 1247" by the 15th century the Marquis fee "came to the Crown by attainder of William Parr" This specific area that Hugill fell under the category of the Marquis fee only covered a quarter of the Kendal of Barony. According to the Lonsdale Archive, the Lowther family "accumulated extensive estates, including the Lordship of numerous manors in Cumberland and Westmorland" The Marquis fee was then "leased to the Lowther's after 1705."
With Hugill being located near the Lake District it has numerous amenities, such as the Windermere Golf Club, the Lake District National Park and the Hawkshead brewery hall which "opened in 2010". In addition to this Hugill is located "6¼ miles (N. W.)from Kendal"
According to 'Nicolson and Burn' who focused on the History of the counties of Westmorland and Cumberland The chapel of Staveley, which was once a place of worship has undertaken many changes " Staveley and Hugill were originally one chapelry. But afterwards a separate chapel was erected at Ings in Hugill" Considering Staveley and Hugill was once sharing the Christian place of worship the building that was once used for this process has now become a cottage holiday destination. "The Chapel has been imaginatively created from part of this former place of worship in the centre of Staveley" Due to its location, amenities such as the local butchers and post office is "a few hundred yards from the cottage, the village is an ideal base for those not wishing to be too dependant on the car." St Anne's church is the current main place of Christian worship in Hugill. According to the 'Listed Buildings 2010' survey, the church "dated 1743 on plaque"
