Archaeology of Cumbria ABSTRACT This thesis consists of a survey of events and materia culture in Cumbria for the period-between the withdrawal of Roman troops from Britain circa AD ^10, and the Viking settlement in Cumbria in the tenth century. An attempt has been made to view the archaeological data within the broad framework provided by environmental, historical and onomastic studies. Chapters 1-3 assess the current state of knowledge in these fields in Cumbria, and provide an introduction to the archaeological evidence, presented and discussed in Chapters ^--8, and set out in Appendices 5-10. -

Exploring Cumbrian Churches
EXPLORING CUMBRIAN CHURCHES The visitor to Cumbria must not expect to find the large and stately parish churches of, say, East Anglia or Wessex. More typical of this area are the little friendly whitewashed churches of the dales, built late in the middle ages or in the seventeenth century, as plain and straightforward as the men who made them. Few buildings survive from before the Norman Conquest, although there are many interesting pieces of Anglo-Saxon and Viking age sculpture including two of the finest crosses in England, at Bewcastle and Gosforth. However, it is a great area of Norman churches; time and again you will find the heavy pillars and rounded arches typical of the twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. Due to the wars with Scotland which began in 1297 there was little cash to spare for church building in the Decorated and Perpendicular styles, although there are glorious exceptions in Carlisle Cathedral and Cartmel Priory. Eighteenth century prosperity gave the towns some fine new churches, as at Whitehaven, Workington and Penrith. Cumbria did not escape the Victorian passion for church rebuilding -indeed the poverty of earlier years meant there was essential work for the Victorians to do. The primary function of all churches, whether pre- Norman or present day, is as a place of worship; and it is hoped that visitors will spare some time from admiring the structure of the buildings to join the local congregations at their services. Carlisle The Cathedral is a small cathedral for a small diocese - but for all that, a fine building. -

Just before the pandemic struck, as we submitted our bid for a grant to finance our project ‘Managing Archives’, we felt after a lot of hard work that we could see light at the end of our tunnel. Unfortunately, as you know, it turned out to be a train coming in the opposite direction. Though something of a shock at the time, we are now philosophical about this. The N.H.L. Fund felt that they should cancel all current applications in order to conserve resources for dealing with the crisis then facing existing projects. None of this reflected badly on our submission and there are valuable results from it that, given the chance, we can return to. -
Nurture Eden Doorstep Guide to Great Salkeld
NURTURE EDEN DOORSTEP GUIDE TO GREAT SALKELD SPONSORED BY WETHERAL COTTAGES-4 STAR COUNTRY COTTAGES Welcome to Wetheral Cottages, situated in delightful grounds on the edge of the peaceful village of Great Salkeld. As well as enjoying the peace and quiet, there’s plenty to see and do in the area. The cottages are perfectly located for exploring the beautiful scenery, dramatic fells and picturesque villages of the Eden valley, right from the doorstep. So get your fix of Cumbrian fresh air and give your car a break too. WALKING AND THE DROVERS Great Salkeld lies at the cross roads of several ancient droving routes, once travelled by farmers moving livestock from the borders of Scotland or Silloth down to market in Penrith. There are several routes through the village - you could say that Great Salkeld was the “spaghetti junction” of the middle ages! Then as it is now, the village of Great Salkeld was a favourite resting spot. The Highland Drovers Inn dates back to the 1700s and it still open today should you need rest or refreshment! The walks in this guide take you along some of these well-trodden paths to landmarks old and new, and the scenery remains as breathtaking as ever. THE GREAT OUTDOORS As well as walking, the Eden valley is a haven for cyclists, so don’t forget to bring your bikes. National cycle route 7 is close by; just hop on to start exploring the picturesque villages at the foot of the Pennine fells. The river Eden flows close by, one of the few rivers in England that runs from South to North! You’ll no longer find drovers bringing their livestock to bathe, but it’s still a great place for fishing and swimming. -
Political Society in Cumberland and Westmorland 1471-1537
Political Society in Cumberland and Westmorland 1471-1537 By Edward Purkiss, BA (Hons). Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. School of History and Classics University of Tasmania. 2008. This Thesis contains no material which has been accepted for a degree or diploma by the University or any other institution, except by way of background information and duly acknowledged in the thesis and to the best of my knowledge and belief no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgement is made in the text of the thesis, nor does the thesis contain any material that infringes copyright. 30 May, 2008. I place no restriction on the loan or reading of this thesis and no restriction, subject to the law of copyright, on its reproduction in any form. 11 Abstract The late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries have often been seen as a turning point in the development of the English state. At the beginning of the period the authority of the Crown was offset by powerful aristocratic interests in many regional areas. By the mid sixteenth century feudal relationships were giving way to a centrally controlled administration and government was reaching into regional political communities through direct connections between the Crown and local gentlemen. This thesis will trace these developments in Cumberland and Westmorland. It will argue that archaic aspects of government and society lingered longer here than in regions closer London. Feudal relationships were significant influences on regional political society well beyond the mid sixteenth century. This was a consequence of the area's distance from the centre of government and its proximity to a hostile enemy. -
