KIRKCAMBECK, a quondam parish and a rivulet in the NE of Cumberland. The parish lay on the rivulet, 5½ miles NNE of Brampton; was overrun and desolated by the Scots, in the Border fends; and became absorbed in the parish of Lanercost. 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 southwestward to the Irthing, 1½ mile N of Brampton.
