Scarisbrick history

---

Scarisbrick parish was founded by the Marquis of Casteja and was named after his wife. Martin Mere, a large lake with associated marshlands and peat bogs, made the area difficult to cross. The modern-day hamlets of Barrison Green, Bescar, Carr Cross, Drummersdale, Hurlston, Pinfold, and Snape Green were formed from early farms and settlements that did arise in the area.

Scarisbrick toponymy

Scarisbrick literally means “Skar’s slope” and comes from Old Norse Skar (a personal name) + -es (possessive) + brekka (“slope”) It is thought that the personal name is Danish, though the second element suggests Norwegian settlement. The “slope” may refer to a slight incline between two streams.
