Ivegill, or High-Head township contains 29 scattered houses on the banks of the Ive rivulet, 4 miles S. by W. of Dalston. Here is High-Head Castle, formerly occupied by the Richmonds, but now only a farmhouse. It stands in a romantic situation, on the brink of a rocky precipice; the court-yard has no pavement, but the mere surface of the rock hewed down and made even. It has no remains of strength or grandeur, but a gateway tower, with an exploritory turret at one corner, and the curtain wall, with the shattered remains of a tower above the rivulet. Though a Mr Brongham employed artificers from France and Italy during the years 1744-5-6 and 7, in repairing this edifice, and finishing the apartments in the most sumptuous manner, yet "swallows and jackdaws" were its only tenants for many years, till it was let to a farmer. The manor of High Head, or as it was anciently written, Pela de Hivehead, was long held by the Hercla family, but was forfeited to the crown on the attainder of Andrew Earl of Carlisle, and was granted to Ranulph de Dacre. In the 18th of Edward III. [1344]
it was held by William L'Englise, by the service of delivering a red rose at the king's exchequer in Carlisle. In the reign of Henry VIII. [1509-1547]
it was held by Wm. Restwold. who sold both the castle and manor to John Richmond, Esq. whose descendants have since possessed them. The tenants pay arbitrary fines, and do boon service. The chapel of ease here has more the appearance of a tithe barn than a place of worship, being a long narrow building, without wiling or ornament. It was erected by William son of William L'Englise, and stands near to the castle. It has twice received Queen Anne’s bounty, with which land was purchased near Keswick and Hesket-New-Market. In Hutchinson's time (1795) it had a "stock or endowment of £300 secured in the hands of John Gate, Esq. of Whitehaven, as executor of Henry Richmond Brougham, Esq. at £5 per cent." The whole income was then £30 a year, including a small stipend paid annually from the castle. The Rev. Hugh Elliot of Sebergham, is the incumbent curate."
