The Cumbria County History Trust (CCHT) was launched in May 2010 [1] to coordinate and gather resources for the Victoria County History of Cumbria project [2], a collaborative community project created to research and write the histories of all parts of Cumbria, and to make historical information generally available, within the framework and standards of the Victoria County History of England. [3]]
General
The aim of CCHT is to initiate a step-change in the awareness and understanding of Cumbria’s local historical heritage, by harnessing the enthusiasm for local history which exists widely across Cumbria, and pooling expertise. Its ultimate aim is to write the history of every town and village in England. To date, a team of over 100 volunteers from across Cumbria has compiled brief histories, called Jubilee Digests #Jubilee Digests for each of the 340 parishes/townships in the county, using the Civil Parishes as they existed around 1900, forming a springboard for future work. In addition a smaller core of volunteers has embarked on researching and writing full parish/township histories, in the standard style of the Victoria County History, which will eventually form part of the national work of local historical reference. #Completed Draft Histories
Early Work
No VCH town or village histories had been published for the historic counties of Cumberland and Westmorland before the VCH Cumbria project was launched in 2010; the only parts of Cumbria previously to have been researched in detail by the VCH were those parts which were formerly in Lancashire. The story of the early attempts to publish a VCH for Cumberland and Westmorland has been told by John Beckett in a paper in the Transactions of the Cumberland and Westmorland Antiquarian and archaeological Society, New Series, vol XI, (2011) pp.207-225 [Sarah – can we try to get pdf of this paper to post here – and on our site?] http://cumbriapast.com/cgi-bin/ms/main.pl?action=transactions
Lancashire
The Furness and Cartmel areas (Lonsdale North of the Sands) were covered in VCH Lancashire, Volume VIII (published in 1910) [link to http://www.victoriacountyhistory.ac.uk/counties/lancashire/volumes/lancashire-vol-viii-0]
Cumberland
Two introductory volumes were published in the early twentieth century, Volume 1 (1901), which covered Early Man, Pre-Norman Remains, Introduction to and Texts of the Cumberland Domesday, Early Pipe Rolls, and Testa de Nevill [link to http://www.victoriacountyhistory.ac.uk/counties/cumberland/volumes/cumberland-i and Volume II (1905) which covered Political History, Industries, Sport Ancient and Modern, Forestry http://www.victoriacountyhistory.ac.uk/counties/cumberland/volumes/cumberland-ii
Westmorland
Nothing has been published to date
