Cumwhinton is a small village in Cumbria, England. It is around one mile away from both Scotby and Wetheral, and four miles from Carlisle. The village lies in Wetheral civil parish.
A hamlet was established at Cumwhinton by the middle of the 12th century, initially under the name Cumquintina, believed to be named after Saint Quentin. [1] The site also had a manor owned by the Bavin family, who gave it to Lanercost Priory after three generations of ownership. [2]
By 1831, Cumwhinton was a joint township with nearby Cotehill, also in Wetheral parish, and had a population of 472. [3]
Cumwhinton is a small village by local standards. Despite its small size, it is home to a pub, a village hall and a village shop.
Cumwhinton Primary School provides educational facilities for children in the village. In 2008 a new extension was opened for pupils with autism, one of only four in the county; the building was unveiled by footballer Matt Jansen, a former pupil at the school. [4]
Cumwhinton is often confused with the village of Cumwhitton a few miles to the east. [5]
Cumwhinton had a railway station on the Settle-Carlisle Railway between Scotby and Cotehill, but this was closed to passengers in 1956. [6] The station was designed by the Midland Railway company architect John Holloway Sanders. [7] The station building, which dates from 1875 and remains in use as a private dwelling (the platforms and former waiting shelter also survive), was Grade II listed in 1984. [8]
