Etymology and history

Ettleton Parish was once also known as, or contained, Dinwiddie. The first element of this name appears to be the Cumbric word din, meaning 'fort'. [1] Ettleton Cemetery, on the slopes of Ettleton Sike, is the burial place of many members of Clan Armstrong. Other places nearby include Newcastleton.
