Viking burial ground

In March 2004, a Cumbrian metal detectorist working found a rare Viking brooch in the ploughsoil on farmland belonging to Townfoot Farm, on the western edge of Cumwhitton, Cumbria. They returned to the site and subsequently found a second brooch. A major excavation to record this important site was then funded by English Heritage, as it was under immediate threat from plough damage. In total, six burials were found, dating to the early tenth century, though almost no skeletal material survived as a result of the acidic nature of the soil.

William James Blacklock

William James Blacklock lived in Cumwhitton from 1818 to 1836 and from 1850 to 1854. He painted scenery in Cumbria, the Lake District, and the Scottish Borders. Blacklock moved back to London in 1836, but in 1850 his health deteriorated.
