Brigham
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The village of Brigham, near the town of Cockermouth, Cumbria, United Kingdom has existed as a settlement and religious centre since neolithic times.
The church was originally a Norman building, and is situated at the far north of the village, known as Low Brigham. A disused quarry is situated in the centre of the village, above which runs the main street of High Brigham. Newer housing estates known as High Rigg and The Hill are at the west and east of the village.
The population is thought to be over one thousand.
The village gave its name to HMS Brigham, a Ham class minesweeper.
