When
I first thought about how I would lay out the website, I decided
to order and file them by the traditional county names. In the
case of Cumbria, which in 1974 was formed out of the former counties
of Cumberland, Westmorland, and parts of Lancashire and even
Yorkshire. It would be confusing to have left them in their traditional
county names, therefore in this one case I have opted for the
new county name of Cumbria. In fact it is not a new name, as
the name Cumbria has been used for centuries, from Celtic days.
The name derives from the word Cymru - the Welsh name for Wales,
the land of the Celts.
