Holme St. Cuthbert
Holme St. Cuthbert is a hamlet in Cumbria, located about 7½ miles north-east of Maryport and 1 mile ENE of the village of Mawbray. There are a few houses, Holme St Cuthbert School, St Cuthbert's Church (built 1845) and the old church hall (built 1936). This was the nucleus of the parish, which was formed in 1857 (prior to that, Holme St. Cuthbert was a township within the ancient parish of Holme Cultram). Today, it forms part of Holme St. Cuthbert Civil Parish and is within the Cumberland Council area. Some historical sources refere to the placename as Rowks, but showns as Holme St. Cuthbert on OS Maps and old road signs.
