NEWTON-ARLOSH, a hamlet in the parish of HOLME-CULTRAM, ALLERDALE ward below Darwent, county of CUMBERLAND, 6 miles (N.W.) from Wigton. In consequence of the destruction of Skinburness by an irruption of the sea, in 1404, the abbot of Holme- Cultram was licensed to build a small church at this place, and hold here the market and fair, now disused, which had previously been granted him at Skinburness. The church, which has long been desecrated, was constructed so as to serve the purpose of a fortress, and its thick rugged walls remain in the cemetery, which is still used by the parishioners.
