In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Kirkandrews upon Eden like this:
KIRK-ANDREWS-UPON-EDEN, a village and a parish in Carlisle district, Cumberland. The village stands on the Roman wall and on the Carlisle and Silloth railway, 3¼ miles W NW of Carlisle; and has a station on the railway. The churchyard here was probably the site of a mile castle on the Roman wall; and a garden in the village contains a Roman altar, brought from Kirksteads, about a mile S. ...
The vallum of the wall is slightly traceable in the neighbourhood. The parish contains also the hamlet of Hosket-Hill; and its posttown is Carlisle. Acres, 1, 050. Real property, £1, 542. Pop., 120. Houses, 23. The manor belongs to the Earl of Lonsdale. The living is a rectory, united with the rectory of Beaumont, in the diocese of Carlisle. Value, £249.* Patron, the Earl of Lonsdale. The churchyard is still in use; but the church has disappeared; and the church of Beaumont serves for the united parishes.
