Barepotis a village inCumbria,England. AsWorkingtonandSeatongrew, Barepot and also Seaton became districts of Workington. Barepot has about 70 houses and is situated on theRiver Derwent.There are no transport links (e.g. Workington Circulars), but Barepot is only a 5- to 10-minute walk into the centre of Workington.
Barepot was in the news in 2002, when the remains of a baby, named "Lara" by police, were found encased in a block of cement/concrete. The discovery was made when a man was clearing out a pit in a garage and discovered the block.[1][2]
To this day no one has been charged with the murder of Baby Lara, although a couple were arrested but released without charge.
Lara is buried in St Peters churchyard at Camerton.
