Population: 120. Houses: 23. The manor belongs to the Earl of Lonsdale. The living is a rectory, united with the rectory of Beaumont, in the diocese of Carlisle. Value: £249. Patron: the Earl of Lonsdale. The churchyard is still in use; but the church has disappeared; and the church of Beaumont serves for the united parishes.
