Excerpt from Crosby Garrett, Westmorland: A History of the Manor of Crosby Garrett in Westmorland, With Local Custom and Legends Respecting this narrative. The part Crosby Garrett since 1900 was written about twenty years ago, and it has been left very much as when first compiled. On taking rip the whole subject, I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to Mr. James Sagar, Of Winton, with Whom I have discussed mostof the subjects, and he has given much valuable information. Then, after the sheets have been written, he has gone through most Of them, to reduce errors to a minimum. I am also greatly indebted to Mrs. Fotheringham, Of Oxford, who kindly supplied extracts from a valuable work, to which previously I had been unable to Obtain access. Also to Mr. William Harker, Hartley, for allowing me a perusal Of the original parchment relating to Crosby Manor, &c. Here I may explain that the late Captain Grimshaw, Of Hutton Lodge, Soulby, made many extracts from this document, and, as Mr. Harker possesses these, the work Of summarising particulars was 'nruch expedited. Last, but not least, to Dr. Fotheringham, Of Oxford University, who SO readily agreed to write the Foreword. Many other friends have also kindly furnished me with information, to all Of whom I tender my best thanks.
