 | | Form one parish for all civil government, containing the three townships of St. Johns-in-the-Vale, Castlerigg, and Wythburn, and comprised within Derwent ward; the petty sessional division, rural deanery, county court district, and electoral division of Keswick; and the rural district and poor law union of Cockermouth. |
| | A ravine in the cliffs of Walla Crag called Lady's Rake is said to be the path taken by the unhappy Countess of Derwentwater, when, on hearing of the capture of her luckless husband, she fled from the Castle, bearing with her the family jewels. |
| | A water-spout of uncommon dimensions and force broke over this district on the 22nd August, 1749, and in less than two hours deluged the valley many feet deep, sweeping away all the bridges, walls, houses, and almost completely erasing a corn mill which stood on the banks of the stream. |
