Civil Parish
In England, a civil parish is a type of administrative parish used for local government. It is a territorial designation which is the lowest tier of local government below districts and counties, or their combined form, the unitary authority. Civil parishes can trace their origin to the ancient system of ecclesiastical parishes, which historically played a role in both secular and religious administration. Civil and religious parishes were formally differentiated in the 19th century and are now entirely separate. Civil parishes in their modern form came into being through the Local Government Act 1894, which established elected parish councils to take on the secular functions of the parish vestry. A civil parish can range in size from a sparsely populated rural area with fewer than a hundred inhabitants, to a large town with a population in the tens of thousands. This scope is similar to that of municipalities in Continental Europe, such as the communes of France. However, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Innerwick
Innerwick ( gd, Inbhir Mhuice) is a coastal civil parish and small village, which lies in the east of East Lothian, from Dunbar and approximately from Edinburgh. Name The name Innerwick is of Anglo-saxon origin and means inland farm or dwelling place. It was presumably coined around the 7th – 9th centuries. Prehistory Excavations to the north of Innerwick, at Dryburn Bridge, in 1978 and 1979 found a multi-period site dating from the Mesolithic to the Iron Age. The site was discovered in 1974 through aerial photography and was excavated as a result of the threat posed by limestone quarrying in the area.

All of which were under a later Iron Age settlement. One of the skeletons from the cists had indications of leprosy, which would have made it the earliest example in Europe, but extensive analysis indicated ...
