Extract from "The History and Antiquities of the Counties of Westmorland and Cumberland" by Joseph Nicholson and Richard Burn published 1777. pp 469-471

"Thomas son of Cospatric by his charter without date (which was about the year 1119, in the 20 Hen. I.) gave to God and St Mary Magdalene and the Canons of Preston of the order of Præmonstratenses, a portion on his lands at Preston in Kendale, to build a mansion for the said canons...."

"Afterwards, the same Thomas son of Cospatric, on removing the said monastery to Shap, granted to God and the church of St. Mary Magdelene of the vale of Magdalen, and the canons of the orderbof Præmonstratenses serving God there, all that his land which was Karl [that is, as it seemeth, which had belonged to his carls or husbandmen, tenants at will] by these bounds; from the ford at Carlwath, ascending by the river on the south as far as Langeshabeck, and so ascending by Langeshabeck to the road which comes from Kendale, and so following that road northwards till it come to Stanirase nigh Rasland; and so by that road unto Rasate; and so going down on the other side of the hill, to the great stone where they were wont to stand to watch the deer as they passed [ubi homines solebant facere lestabile; Stable-stand was, where the men stood with bows or dogs ready to shoot or course; and tenants were in some places bound, at the summons of the lord, to assemble ad stableiam faciendam, which was called the buckstall]; and so going down to the river Lowther, and further as far as the division of Rosgill towards the east; and so all along southward by the top of the hill of Creskeld, and so to Alinbalike.  He grants to them also the vale, with brush-wood [which by the way, countenanceth the notion of Heppe receiving its name from thence] in the eastern part over against their own, stretching along by the top of the hill to the house which formerly was William King's, and so to the land which belonged to Matthew de Hepp, and so going westward to the said ford of of Karlwath. He also grants to them pasture in common with his tenants at Rasat, and pasture at Thamboord, and at Swindale on both sides (to the top of Binbarh on one side, and on the other side beyond Thengeheved^)1, for 60 cows, 20 mares to run in the woods, and 500 sheep, with their young to the age of three years; and for five yoke of oxen: And wood also for the abbey, for timber, fire, hedging, and other necessaries, without the controul of his foresters.

This Thomas died Dec. 7 1152, and was buried in this abbey."
