The information contained in the following pages has been derived from many sources during the last twenty years, and in a considerable number of cases I have examined old registers and Other documents without being then aware that some of their contents had already been published. Few districts in the United Kingdom have been more thoroughly “worked” for antiquarian and archæological purposes than have Cumberland and Westmorland. The Antiquarian Society and the numerous Literary and Scientific Societies have, during the last thirty years, been responsible for a great amount of research. I have endeavoured to acknowledge each source—not only as a token of my own obligation, but as a means of directing Others wishing Further information on the various points. I also desire to acknowledge the help received in various ways from numerous friends in the two counties. Penrith, June 1st, 1899
