I have always been interested in archaeology and this led to an interest in local history, though I studied art for five years and taught. I also farmed for twenty years. In the 1960s, the Lambrigg parish chest came into our keeping, until it went to the Kendal Record Office and that re-kindled my interest in local matters and pointed the way to research. I stress that I am NOT a historian, so this is the best I can do.
