"The parish of Morland (Moorland) is bounded on the East by the parishes of Kirkby Thore and St. Michael's Appleby, being separated from them by the River Eden; on the South-east by the parish of St. Laurence Appleby; on the South, by the parish of Crosby Ravensworth; on the South-west, by the parish of Shap; on the West and North-west, by the parishes of Bampton and Lowther; and on the North , by the parish of Cliburn: And contains about 271 families; all of the church of England, 7 only excepted. The church of Morland (according to Dr. Todd) is dedicated to St. Laurence. It is a vicarage. The church at Morland is a fair large building, with two rows of pillars, three in each row; with a tower steeple, and three good bells. Strickland (Stirkland) gave name to the family of Strickland, which continued here for many generations, and afterwards removed to Sizergh. Thrimby is a small village in this parish, consisting only of about six families.
There are many places of the name Newby (which means no more than new town); and therefore this, by way of distinction, and from the nature of its situation, is called Newby Stones.http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/WES/Morland
