CLOFFOCK, a liberty (extra-parochial) adjoining
the parish of Workington, in ALLERDALE ward above
Derwent, county of CUMBERLAND, containing 15 inhabitants.
This is a large common, lying on the north
side of the town of Workington, and is completely surrounded
by the river Derwent and a small stream.
Races are held annually upon it; and at the west end
are a quay and a patent slip. A portion of the ground
is called Chapel Flat, whence it is thought to have
been the site or property of a religious house.
