Farlam is a village and civil parish in the Cumberland district, in the English county of Cumbria.

[4] The parish also once contained a settlement called Clesketts, first attested around 1254 as Claschet, noted for being one of a fairly small number of English place-names deriving from Common Brittonic.

In this case the name comes from the words that survive in modern Welsh as clas ("settlement, monastery") and coed ("wood").

[18] The building consists of a nave, chancel and only one aisle with for accommodation for 400 worshippers.

Charles Howard as well as £500 towards its construction, Mrs Maria Thompson also contributed £200, a new organ for the church and erected the pictorial east window.

The Ecclesiastical Commissioners granted £200, and the parishioners also contributed a large unknown sum of money towards the cost of erection.
