It was formerly in the county of Westmorland. The place-name 'Crosby Garrett' is first attested in a document of 1200, where it appears as Crosseby, and in another of 1206, where it appears as Crossebi Gerard. The first name is Old Scandinavian Krossa-byr, meaning 'village or homestead with crosses'. 'Garrett' is the French personal name 'Gerard', which is ultimately of Germanic origin.[2] In May 2010 the Crosby Garrett Helmet, a copper alloy parade helmet dating to Roman Britain, was discovered near the hamlet by a father and son using a metal detector. The helmet was sold to a private buyer at Christie's later that year for £2.3 million. DescriptionThe parish contains no settlements of any size other than the village of Crosby Garrett, and much of the parish is on Crosby Garrett Fell to the south-west of the village. The Settle to Carlisle railway passes through the parish, at the southwestern edge of the village on the {{convert|110|yd|m|abbr=on}} Crosby Garrett viaduct;[3] the village once had a railway station, Crosby Garrett station, which closed in 1952.[4] The parish church of St. Andrew has an Anglo-Saxon chancel, the remainder of the church dates between the 12th and 15th centuries. In 2010, a major restoration project was undertaken.[5] The highest point in the parish is Nettle Hill at {{convert|382|m|ft|abbr=on}}. {{coord|54.4642|-2.4384|display=inline}} Crosby Garrett Helmet{{main|Crosby Garrett Helmet}}In May 2010 a rare ceremonial Roman helmet was discovered by an unnamed metal detectorist not far from a Roman road near the hamlet. The copper-alloy helmet with integral mask, with the appearance of a youthful male face, and a griffin crest, is only one of three recorded finds of its kind in Britain.[6] See also{{portal|Cumbria}}
