Preston Patrick is a village and civil parish in South Lakeland, Cumbria, England.[1][2] It has junction 36 of the M6 motorway in its south west corner and extends north east on both sides of the motorway until just beyond the B2564 road. In the 2011 census its population was reported to be 426.[3][4] The neighbouring parishes are Old Hutton and Holmescales to the north, Lupton to the east, Beetham to the south and Preston Richard to the west.[5]

St Patrick's Church is a grade II listed building.[6] It is within the ecclesiastical parish of St Thomas, Crosscrake, in the Kendal deanery of the Diocese of Carlisle.[7]

Preston Patrick Hall dates probably from the late 14th century, comprising the remains of a medieval tower house altered in the 17th century.[8]

There are 27 listed buildings or structures in the parish, including several milestones on the A65.[9] Preston Patrick Hall, a private house, is Grade II* listed and "probably late 14th century".[10]

The former primary school, built in 1775, closed in 1949 and is now an art gallery.[11] The Friends Meeting House was built in 1869 on the site of a previous meeting house built in 1691 which had fallen into disrepair after 1833.[12]

Preston Patrick Memorial Hall, built in the 1920s, is a community hall used for a range of events including meetings of the local Women's Institute.[13][14]
