The parish lay on the rivulet, 5¼ miles NNE of Brampton, was overrun and desolated by the Scots in the Border feuds, and became absorbed in the parish of Laner-cost. It has a post office under Carlisle; money order and telegraph office, Brampton. The living was a rectory, and the church, at some time not recorded, was given to the prior and convent of Carlisle. The rivulet rises in Spadeadam Moss, near the boundary with Cumberland, and runs about 12 miles south-westward to the Irthing, 1¼ mile N of Brampton.
