In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Old Penrith like this:
PENRITH (Old), a place in the S of Cumberland; on Watling-street and the river Petterril, 5 miles N by W of Penrith. It had a Roman station, thought variously to have been Patriana, Voreda, and Brementuracum; it retains vestiges of a camp of three acres; and it has yielded urns, inscriptions, an altar to Mars, and other Roman relics
