Cumbria: An Historical Gazetteer, edited by Angus JL Winchester
Book published by Lancaster University in 2017, 339 pages. Paperback (N8555X1)
Brand New Book
This book, published in association with the Cumbria County History Trust, contains short, pithy summaries of historical information about every community in Cumbria, large and small. Arranged alphabetically, it provides a digest of facts about population, land ownership, local economic history, places of worship, schools and other community institutions across the centuries.
The groundwork for the Gazetteer was carried out for the Victoria County History of Cumbria project by a large team of volunteer local historians who compiled brief historical cameos for the project website, drawn from a checklist of key sources. These have now been substantially rewritten for publication, in an attempt to ensure accuracy and consistency.
Providing comprehensive coverage of the whole of the modern county of Cumbria, the volume contains 348 separate articles, one for each of the Civil Parishes as they existed in the 1890s. The Gazetteer will be an indispensable work of reference for all with an interest in Cumbria’s past, residents and visitors alike.
When we post our books, we take great care in packaging them - first your book will be wrapped in bubblewrap, which protects the book and even keeps out any rain (in the event that it's raining when the postie delivers it!). Then we wrap your book in stiff cardboard, taking care to make sure all the corners are protected, and finally the package is wrapped in thick brown paper.
