"Thornthwaite is a long rambling village, as may be seen in the plan; the soil near the houses is very rich, but towards Derwent the ground is wet and boggy. All along Thornthwaite there are very good orchards, in which fruit-trees thrive exceeding well, and bear plentifully. Here is a small chapel under Crossthwaite, and the lands are mostly customary under the Earl of Egremont, as part of his honour of Cockermouth Castle."
