New Statistical Account.
The Chapel of Mary Magdalene is provincially called "Maidlin Chapel"
and in old writings is known both as the Chapel of Arrat, and the Chapel
of Caldhame. The date of the origin of the chapel is unknown
but it is recorded as ruinous in the 15. Century, and it was rebuilt
during the Episcopate of Bishop Carnoth 1429 - 56. Soon after that date
the revenues of Magdalene Chapel were augmented. The foundations of
the Chapel are now barely traceable; but the burial ground, surrounded
by a rude stone wall, is occasionally used for interment -
