The Story of Appleby in Westmorland

Martin Holdgate
£15.95

To the casual visitor, the appearance of the little town of Appleby in Westmorland as a typical little English county town is deceptive. From Danish settlers a thousand years ago, through English and Scottish kingdoms and a Norman baronacy it has a rich and varied history. Until 1974 it was England's smallest County Town, never more than 3000 inhabitants, but for all that it produced Archbishops, Generals, Lord Mayors and MP's, including William Pitt. This book describes it all - clearly , simply and with good humour!
