The name Camri first appears on maps in AD 1050. Since then the Lake District and historic counties of Cumberland, Westmorland and Lancashire have been mapped countless times. In this illustrated talk, David Felton, publisher of Cumbria – 1,000 Years of Maps by William Shannon, discusses the most important charts, surveys and maps from ten centuries of Cumbrian cartography.
