711. Native of Eskdale
£12.00
Margaret Armstrong Elliot
This book is a wonderful tribute to the natives of Eskdale and their way of life remembered by one of their own. The author's memories of Eskdale relate to the 1930s through to the 1950s. She was a farmer's daughter but her family also kept the Woolpack Inn so the book recounts how this was run in the days when 'horses and carts and candlesticks were just being replaced by cars and electricity.' There are chapters on the history of the valley, the seasons on the farm, school, church, celebrities and the inn's customers. . . . more

£12.99
Ruth Mansergh
Keswick in the Great War is an expert account of this Lake District market town's fascinating, yet largely forgotten, contribution to the Great War effort from the outbreak of war in 1914, to the long-awaited Allied victory in 1918. It charts the remarkable, and sometimes moving, stories of several heroic local figures, including Lord and Lady Rochdale, who converted their home into a VAD hospital; Caleb Barnes, a former headteacher of Braithwaite Primary School who was taken prisoner in Belgium; Catherine Elizabeth Marshall, supporter of The No-Conscription Fellowship, whose husband, the chairman of the NCF, was imprisoned in 1916; and Reverend Bettison, Curate of Crosthwaite, who was mobilised on 4 August 1914 and sent to Burma in October 1914. . . . more

722. An Excursion to the Lakes in Westmoreland and Cumberland 1773
£12.00
William Hutchinson
William Hutchinson's spirited account of his 'summer's excursion' to the Lakes in 1773 has a good claim to be the first published guidebook to the district. It is essentially a picturesque tour, varied with detailed accounts of the ruined castles, stone circles and other antiquities to be found en route.
A solicitor from Barnard Castle, County Durham, Hutchinson was a versatile man of letters who could turn his hand with equal facility to poetry, fiction, playwrighting, and historical research as well as sketching out the illustrations for his books.
