BROUGHAM, (Westmorland) near Penrith in the road from Appleby, was formerly the Lp. of the Viponts, then of the Cliffords;
and was settled by the Lady Anne Clifford on her noble alms-ho. at Appleby. Anne, Countess dowager of Pembroke, who was of
this family, settled an annuity of 4 l. for ever on the poor of this p. to be distributed every second day of April, upon
the stone table just by a pillar, which she erected in 1656 in the neighbouring park of Whitfield, in memorial of the last
farewel she took of her mother, the Countess dowager of Cumberland, on the 2d of Ap. 1616.
