KIRK-ANDREWS-UPON-EDEN, a village and a parish in Carlisle district, Cumberland. The village stands on the Roman wall and on the Carlisle and Silloth railway, 3¼ miles W NW of Carlisle; and has a station on the railway. The churchyard here was probably the site of a mile castle on the Roman wall; and a garden in the village contains a Roman altar, brought from Kirksteads, about a mile S. The vallum of the wall is slightly traceable in the neighbourhood.

The parish contains also the hamlet of Hosket-Hill; and its post-town is Carlisle. Acres, 1, 050. Real property, £1, 542. Pop., 120. Houses, 23. The manor belongs to the Earl of Lonsdale. The living is a rectory, united with the rectory of Beaumont, in the diocese of Carlisle. Value, £249. Patron, the Earl of Lonsdale. The churchyard is still in use; but the church has disappeared; and the church of Beaumont serves for the united parishes.

KIRK-ANDREWS-upon-Eden (St. Andrew), a parish, in the union of Carlisle, Cumberland ward, E. division of the county of Cumberland, 3¼ miles (W. N. W.) from Carlisle; containing 142 inhabitants.

This parish, which forms part of the barony of Burg, comprises 898 acres by admeasurement; about 20 acres are woodland, and nearly 40 open common. Its soil is partly of a sandy nature, and partly a rich black loam; the surface is generally flat, and is intersected by the river Eden and the Carlisle canal. The living is a discharged rectory, with which that of Beaumont was united in 1692; net income, £249; patron, the Earl of Lonsdale.

The church was long ago demolished, and the ruins were used in the erection of a glebe-house; the inhabitants attend divine service at Beaumont, but bury in the churchyard here. There was a still more ancient church at Kirksteads, about a mile from the site of this, but at what period it was destroyed is unknown; the cemetery, in which stones curiously carved and human bones have been found, may yet be traced. On the common is a triple intrenchment, near which several urns were discovered about sixty years ago. The Roman wall passed through the parish.
