Until 1672, all meetings in winter took place in private houses in Lamplugh, Pardshaw, Whinfell and Eaglesfield. All meetings in summer were held at Pardshaw Crag [Cragg].

A meeting house was built at Crag in 1672, was enlarged in 1705 and demolished in 1729, when it was replaced by a new one at Pardshaw Hall. Other meeting houses were built elsewhere.

Many of the burials in these registers took place at Eaglesfield or Greysouthen.
