Nether Kellet is one of the Thankful Villages - only 53 of which are known. These villages and parishes sent men to fight in the Great War, 1914–1918, and all of them came back alive. Nether Kellet sent 21. Their near neighbour, Arkholme, 5 miles (8.0 km) to the east, sent by far the most, 59 men, all of whom returned. It is remarkable to think that two small villages, geographically so close to one another, escaped unscathed from such a conflagration. Furthermore, Nether Kellet was doubly thankful,[3] as 16 villagers served in World War II, 1939–1945, without loss of life.


Geography


The village is located south of Over Kellet, north of Halton, west of Aughton and east of Bolton-le-Sands.


In Literature


Not far away, off Dunald Mill Lane and little known today beyond caving circles, lies Dunold Mill-Hole. (now Dunald Mill Hole), subject of a poem by Letitia Elizabeth Landon (Fisher's Drawing Room Scrap Book, 1836). The size of this cave is somewhat exaggerated in the accompanying plate.
