Thorneythwaite Farm Borrowdale: The 1000 year story of a Lakeland farm and its valley

When Thorneythwaite was sold in separate lots on 9th August, 2016 roughly a thousand years of discernible history of its existence as an independent fell farm came to an abrupt halt. A surprising amount of that history has been recorded.

Water-Power Mills of South Lakeland

Water-Power Mills of South Lakeland

Michael Davies-Shiel
£24.00

Although Mike Davies-Shiel had written and co-authored several books, the best known being his own Watermills of Cumbria and The archaeology of the Lake Counties with Dr. John Marshall, his 30 years of research and fieldwork to update John Somervell’s book on Water Power Mills of South Westmorland remained in many files full of copious notes, cuttings and photographs, awaiting the ‘time to write it all up’.
These chapters were found, by his wife and son, on his computer after his untimely death. They give a good indication of the social interest, accuracy and enormity of the task he had set himself. He brings to life the people who for centuries have worked to derive a living from the power of the headwaters and tributaries of the great River Kent.

Wythburn Church and the Valley of Thirlmere

Wythburn Church and the Valley of Thirlmere

Geoffrey Darrall
£3.95

Wythburn church stands at the southern end of Thirlmere in the Lake District. The parish was depopulated at the end of the 19th Cent in order to make way for the reservoir created by Manchester Corporation to supply the needs of the city. There are now only about 5 parishioners, but the church is still used and is placed in a superb situation at the foot of Helvellyn.
