Appleby in Westmorland

Appleby in Westmorland 

Appleby added "in Westmorland" to its name following the merger of the ancient county of Westmorland into the newly created Cumbria in the mid-1970s. Although only small, ever since a brutal slaughter of its population by northern invaders almost seven hundred years ago, Appleby had continued right up to 1974 as the ceremonial chief town of the old county. It was determined to keep its identity and keep the name of Westmorland alive. Nowadays each June Appleby is the site of a large Gypsy Horse Fair: http://around-england.co.uk/appleby/
