Curwen, 1900 p155

Crossing Blindbeck we leave the old Borough of Kendal and enter into Kirkland, which, being out of the Mayor's liberty, was much resorted to by the poorer tradesmen, not free of the Corporation, because they could not afford to pay the necessary £10 for the privilege of setting up a business in the Burgh. The Hon. Fulke Greville Howard, as Lord of the Manor of Kirkland (being part of the Lumley Fee) held a Customary Court twice in each year.
