Its name appears to be a corruption of Castle Dowery, a dower house for widows of the Barony. Recorded plaque organisation: Kendal Civic Society.
Castle Dairy, originally a dower house known as Castle Dowery, has historical significance as a 14th-century structure that evolved from a tenant home to a gentleman's residence and reflects architectural changes over centuries.
