Excerpt from Leaves From the Annals of a Mountain Parish in Lakeland: Being a Sketch of the History of the Church and Benefice of Together With Its School Endowments, Charities, and Other Trust Funds The stream that flows through Torver has evidently given its name to the parish. I find it spoken of in early accounts as the river Torver. One part of it rises in the lonely and romantic Tarn of Gates Water (also a' Norse name), and its waters are very clear; while the other portion, which drains the mossy uplands of Torver High Fell and Bleaberry Hause, flows with a very black and turf-coloured stream, and is often known as the Black Beck of Torver, and may, from the name Torva, dark-rolling, or muddy, have given its name to the stream, and hence to the parish.
