About this book
River valleys, ruined castles and cathedral stonework shape this illustrated account of the Border Country. W. S. Crockett's historical notes accompany twenty-five colour pictures by James Orrock, linking scenery with the region's past. The contents lead through Northumberland and Carlisle to the Tweed, Teviotdale, the Leader Valley and Liddesdale, with attention to the area's early history, religious life and conflicts.
A close description of Carlisle Cathedral shows how the book works at ground level. Crockett considers damage to the building and later restorations, then pauses over stained glass, carved monuments and the colours of the choir. Connections with Sir Walter Scott bring literary history into the same landscape.
