Kilburn was the home of Robert 'Mouseman' Thompson, whose furnishings can be found in Tarleton church.

I take it that this is Kilburn in North Yorkshire, not the better-known settlement of Kilburn in London, so that being the case, I make the following association....

Over Silton is another settlement that was part of the wapentake of Birdforth.

I wonder if this is the same settlement as Langtree-with-Standish that lies north of Wigan ?

If so, Tarleton was also once administered by the ancient Hundred of Leyland.

Yes, it was.

The main town and administrative centre of the Hambleton local government district of North Yorkshire (which includes Over Silton) is Northallerton.

Although Peterborough's has now closed; Radstock is also the location of the head offices of a co-operative society.
