History

Thrimby was a chapelry with 2 townships within Morland parish.[5] It became a civil parish in 1866.[6] On 1 April 2019 the parish was merged with Little Strickland.[7]

On 23 October 1970, the nine-mile Tebay to Thrimby section of the M6 was opened,[8] built by Christiani-Shand. The section terminated on the A6. The next junction further north would be at Penrith (A66).
