The townships are E and W Farlam; and they lie about 1¼ mile E of the Milton station of the Carlisle and Newcastle railway, and 2¾ ESE of Brampton. Acres, with Midgeholm extra-parochial tract, 5, 680. Real property, £3, 246 and £945. ...
Pop., 813 and 498. Houses, 149 and 91. The parish consists of the two townships; and its post town is Milton, under Carlisle. Coal is worked; and limestone is found. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Carlisle. Value, £143.* Patron, the Earl of Carlisle. The church was built in 1861, at a cost of about £1, 600; and is in the early English style. There is a Wesleyan chapel.
