Excerpt from Cumberland and WestmorlandThe object of the series of County Churches, to which this little volume belongs, is to pro duce in a handy and condensed form an accurate outline account of the old parish churches of England, in the hope that they may serve as a help to church-loving visitors, and also prove of some tri¿ing service to resident churchmen. Failing to find any resident archaeologist willing to write a small church-guide to the two often visited counties of Cumberland and Westmor land, it was with some pleasure, accompanied by diffidence, that l undertook the task. The hap piest recollections of the summer holidays of my boyhood and youth are associated with England's incomparable tableland district, and my acquaint ance with these two counties, both around the Lakes and in more remote parts, has been fre quently renewed since those early days. My last visit was in the rainy month of August 1912, when I saw a variety of churches, as to which my notes were somewhat vague or recollections hazy, with the special view of this little book.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
