Cockerham is a small village and civil parish within the City of Lancaster district in Lancashire, England.

[1] Cockerham has lain within the historic county boundaries of Lancashire since the Middle Ages,[citation needed] having previously formed a township and parish within the hundred of Lonsdale.

The custumal, a record of rents and services owed by the tenants to their landlord, combines a local code of laws with an inventory of all resources of the land, from peat fuel, cattle and sheep to shoreline mussels.

The original parish church was in the middle of the village but was resited on higher ground due to frequent flooding.

[8] In 2023, former footballers Jamie Carragher, Roy Keane and Gary Neville skydived at the facility for an episode of Sky Sports' The Overlap.
