Font Notes:
Curwen (1932) notes: "The Commonwealth Survey of 1657 says, "that there is a Chapel called Thrimby Chapel two miles and a half distant from the parish church of Morland which hath no maintenance belonging to it." The ancient chapel which had lain waste for a considerable period was restored in 1681 [...] The chapel paid church rates to the mother church of Morland until 1870 when Great and Little Strickland were constituted a separate parish". English Heritage [Listing NGR: NY5625319734] (1987) informs that the old chapel disappeared and was replaced by the Church of St. Mary, Little Strickland, in 1814]
