The name Terregles, recorded as Travereglis in 1359,[1] is from Cumbric *trev-ïr-eglẹ:s.[2] *Trev refers to a settlement[3] and *eglẹ:s is a borrowing of Latin ecclesia, 'church building'.[2] (Modern Welsh Tref yr Eglwys/ Tref Eglwys). James argues that the name dates to no earlier than the 10th century.[2]
The parish contains the ruins of Lincluden Collegiate Church and the site of Terregles House, once the seat of William Maxwell, last Earl of Nithsdale.[4]
Confert Lord Herries of Terregles.
