CUMBRIAN LIVESTowards a Dictionary of Cumbrian Biography

This alphabetical list of brief biographies, many with bibliographical notes, was compiled by Richard Hall and David Cross with the invaluable assistance of Stephen White between 2008 and 2021. As is stated elsewhere, this is work in progress. Consequently, if you have new names or further details to add please contact the editor. This, the second edition of the list, now contains numerous biographical references from the CWAAS Transactions, from C. Roy Hudleston’s two volumes of Armorial research and a large number of the Cumbrian lives included in the online ODNB.
