  1. Brougham

    Brougham is a small village and civil parish on the outskirts of Penrith in the Eden District of Cumbria, England. According to the 2001 census the parish had a population of 279. Within the parish are the ruins of the medieval Brougham Castle once home to Lady Anne Clifford and the mainly 19th century Brougham Hall the former seat of the Lords Brougham and Vaux. Near the castle is the Countess Pillar. The parish has two Anglican churches: ⁕The historic Ninekirks, dedicated to St Ninian, is situated by the banks of the River Eamont and was extensively rebuilt by Lady Anne Clifford; but was a Norman foundation, probably on the site of an earlier Anglo-Saxon church. There is reputed to have been an even more ancient monastery nearby, founded by St Ninian. ⁕St Wilfred's or Brougham Chapel is next to the hall, overlooking the River Lowther. Brougham "village" itself is no more than a scattering of farms and modern housing near the hall and is, along with neighbouring Eamont Bridge, often classed as an outlying suburb of Penrith. There are some more cottages next to the castle, which is partially built on the site of the Roman fort of Brocavum.
