This is a close up of the stone, taken about 15 years ago! Its very ornate but made of soft sandstone which has weathered badly.

Heres some photos of California Road, Kingstown. Theses are weavers cottages that may be those lived in by some of the KIngstown weaving Lytollis clan. William (b1841) lived here in 1901.

'Houghton, a village and an ecclesiastical parish in Stanwix and Kingmoor parish, Cumberland. The village lies on an affluent of the river Eden and on the North British railway, adjacent to the Roman wall, 2 1/2 miles N by E of Carlisle. the ecclesiastical parish was constituted in 1841'

Before this time Stanwix was the church of choice for the family and before this St Mary and St Cuthberts in the centre of Carlisle.
