Newton Arlosh
Newton Arlosh is a village in Cumbria located about 12 miles west of Carlisle, by the Solway Firth. The Church of St John the Evangelist here dates from the early 14th century. The village was founded in the 14th century when much of the village of Skinburness was swept away by violent storms and the inhabitants relocated to Newton Arlosh, meaning 'new town on the marsh'.[1] Newton Arlosh obtained market charter 1304, replacing the charter previously granted to Skinburness.[2]
Newton Arlosh is a village in the civil parish of Holme East Waver in Cumbria, United Kingdom.
