Greenholme is a hamlet in Cumbria, England.[1]
The Greenholme Gala and Agricultural Show is held there annually.[2][3]
Greenholme Bridge crosses the Birk Beck in the hamlet. This bridge appears upon a 1679 list of public bridges.[4]
Greenholme School was founded in 1733 as a Free Grammar School, and as of 1817 held 20 to 40 pupils.[5] It closed c.1963.[6]
The hamlet of Lower Greenholme some 600 yards to the south-east is the site of a putative motte-and-bailey castle, located on the south bank of where the Birk Beck bends sharply east,[4] and conjectured to be an outpost of Castle Howe,[7] although the site is currently interpreted as probably consisting of only natural features.[8]
