My name is Sandra and I am the little girl on the right of the picture. I lived at the Post Office with my grandparents, Mr & Mrs Robinson and I have very fond memories of growing up in the village. The bigger girl with me was Ann Tatters who used to take me to school at Yanwath.

Extracts From Morland & Cumbria books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Morland, inspired by Frith photos.
A local character lounges on a wall on the left in the charming and unspoilt village of Morland, in the Eden Valley. A horse and cart can be seen in the far distance, while the footbridge on the right crosses the Morland Beck, which once powered several small mills in the village.

'Morlund', an ancient spelling preserving the word 'lundr', suggests that hereabouts Norse settlers entertained a superstitious awe for a wood or sacred grove set upon or close by moorland or marsh. A sylvan charm is certainly evident in this scene, one enhanced by the beck which flows through the village before joining the River.

The church of St Lawrence originally belonged to the Abbey of St Mary at York and income from it was used to support the Priory at Wetheral. Though picturesque, the ivy engulfing the church in this view obscures a feature rare in the region – a pre-Conquest western tower. One of its bells, dated 1687, was made by Lancelot Smith of Penrith. The church underwent a major restoration within two years of this photograph.
