The parish was mainly made up of small farms who were tenants of the Manor of Cartmel and they would pay rent to the family. Records of some of the money collecting from the villagers show that oats and barley were grown by the villagers as William Mokeld took note of what he included around 1508-9 which was “a rent of 19d. each term, paying 15d. for service and 20d for ingress, with 1d. and a hen and a half for tithe hay and 9 bushels of oats and 6 pecks of barley for tithe corn”. In the 1870s, Broughton East was described as: :BROUGHTON (East), or Broughton-Field, a township-chapelry in Cartmel parish, Lancashire; 4 miles N of Cartmel r. station, and 7 NE of Ulverstone.
