Garforth, Esq., and is more than a mile N. of Terrington, but all the rest of the township is the manor and estate of the Earl of Carlisle. The parish also includes Ganthorpe. The Church (All Saints) is a rectory, valued in K.B. at £23.18s.6½d, and now at £571. The Rev. C. Hall is patron and incumbent, and has a handsome residence. The Wesleyan and Primitive Methodists have each a chapel here. The poor have £6.1s.8d. a year, from eight rent charges, left by unknown donors; and the interest of £55, benefaction money, vested with the Earl of Carlisle. The schoolmaster has the interest of £21, left for the education of two poor children.
