[edit] Boroughs
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)
