The work delves into the rich history of the counties of Cumberland and Westmorland, exploring various aspects such as local customs, laws, and notable figures throughout its storied past. The author draws on extensive research and documentation to present an in-depth look at the region, providing readers with historical insights and a narrative that emphasizes the significance of local heritage. The beginning of this work outlines the dedication to Emma and a detailed preface explaining Scott's research methodology over two decades. He acknowledges the wealth of antiquarian studies that have been conducted in these regions, emphasizing the importance of recognizing the contributions of various sources. The opening chapters focus on unique topics such as the hereditary nature of the Sheriffwick in Westmorland, the necessity of military watch systems due to its geographical position, and the intersections between ecclesiastical and secular power during turbulent historical periods.
