Description
Pounds and Pinfolds of Cumbria by Nigel Mills provides a unique insight into rural life in what is now Cumbria. These small, often unassuming structures were once essential for ensuring community harmony among hill-farmers and others. Confined stray stock and animals found grazing on land without proper rights were brought to these buildings until their owners paid a fine imposed by the local court. This scholarly account offers a comprehensive look at a little-considered aspect of our rural heritage, shedding light on the way of life of those who farmed the hills in days gone by. It will be of great interest to local historians and anyone interested in the social history of Cumbria.
