The contents of the Cumberland (ward) page were merged into Cumberland on July 7 2012. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected page, please see its history; for the discussion at that location, see its talk page. |
This seems to suggest there were a few historic boroughs. It would be good to add some details. MRSC 11:46, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
At the time of the Domesday book, Cumberland was part of Scotland, hence there were no entries for the county in the book. It was certainly NOT part of Yorkshire! Exile 14:41, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
Actually some villages in the south west of Cumberland (the Millom area) were included in Domesday in the Yorkshire section and furthermore I beleive Copeland or Allerdale Above Derwent Ward was memntioned in soem medieval documents as being in Yorkshire (this being before the creation of Cumberland as a county) Penrithguy 19:41, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
Makes sense to merge Cumberland (ward) into Cumberland, as that article actually has more information about the ward than is in this one, which is very thin content-wise. Lozleader ( talk) 21:26, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
According to the table of parishes and wards in 1821 Renwick is listed as being in Allerdale above Derwent, well unless there are 2 villages called Renwick in Cumberland the only one I know of is or was in Leath Ward and was probably at the time a township of Kirkoswald. I wont change this yet if somebody tells me that there is a Renwick in the west of the county. Penrithguy ( talk) 19:08, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
After checking the Vision of Britain site I note that there is no other Renwick in Cumberland as I suspected (seeing as I live not that far from Renwick plus the surname Renwick was my great grandmothers) but it was a seperate parish in 1821 but in Leath Ward so I am going to change it Penrithguy ( talk) 00:58, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
I propose merging Cumberland (unitary authority) into Cumberland. For counties in which the administrative body broadly overlaps the historic county area, it is not standard practice to have two separate articles, e.g. Herefordshire is about both the ceremonial county and the unitary authority, whilst Huntingdonshire is about both the historic county and the government district. The presence of slightly different boundaries doesn't change this fact- e.g. the borders of Huntingdonshire in the Peterborough area are different now to historically. It would be quite easy to cover all information about Cumberland in this article rather than having two separate articles. Chessrat ( talk, contributions) 00:44, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
