Map of Cumberland Places Featuring Barwise Families

This map (drawn by Carl Pearson) shows the locations of places occupied by various Barwise families in the 17th and 18th centuries. Brief descriptions are shown below.

New Cowper (pronounced Cooper) was originally a cluster of six farms. In 1628 John Barwis (of the Langigg Hall line) bought a farm. The Barwis home stood on it's own, some distance from the group, and has now been demolished.

Langrigg is a small village of several houses just north of the Carlisle to Maryport road. Langrigg Hall is described as a "neat manor house" a little to the north of the village.
