    An ancient parish in Eskdale ward, Cumberland. Inlcudes the townships of Askerton, Burtholme. Kingwater and Waterhead. The civil parish includes Kirkcambeck, which was extra-parochial.
    The current church St Mary Magdalene occupies what was the original nave of Lanercost Priory which was founded in 1169. As with other churches in the area there are stones in the building indicating that they come from Hadrians Wall.
    Gilsland is also St. Mary Magdalene and was built in 1851, though most of Gilsland today is in Northumberland, the original parish was taken from Lanercost.
