The antique pieces of Romane Coyne otherwhiles digd up hereabouts, and some Inscriptions not long since found, shew of what continuance they have beene: although Time, which devoureth all things, hath so fed upon their carkasses many ages together, as it hath almost consumed both houses and Inhabitants. For Apelby now is bare both of people and buildings; and were it not for the antiquitie that makes it the more esteemable, in whose Castle the Assises are commonly kept, in would be little better in account then a village. ... These two places [Brough and Appleby] William of Newborough called Princely Holds, and writeth that William King of Scots a little before he himselfe was taken prisoner at Alnewicke, surprized them on a sodaine, but King John recovered them after, and liberally bestowed them upon Robert Vipont, for his many worthy services." |

The Name is a Corruption of the Aballaba mentioned in the Notitia. In the [Romans]" goto sourcePage 1022:- "Romans Time it was the Station of the Mauri Aureliani, a Band of Soldiers, so called because they were sent hither by the Emperor Aurelian. King Henry I. gave it Privileges equal to York that city's Charter being granted, as 'tis said, in the Forenoon, and this in the Afternoon of the same Day. It has the same Privileges still, its Charter having been confirmed by King Henry II. and also by King Henry III. (in whose Time there was an Exchequer here) and by the succeeding Kings of England. In the Reign of King Edward I. it had a Mayor and two Provosts, who sign'd the publick Acts of the Town together with the Mayor, tho' at present they only attend the Mayor with two Halberds. Brompton makes mention of Applebyshire, and 'tis supposed that it had once Sheriffs of its own, as most Cities had; or else that Westmoreland was called the County of Appleby or Applebyshire. In the 22d of Henry II. it was set on Fire by the Scots, as it was again in the 12th of Richard II. In 1598 it was also a great Sufferer by a Pestilence, and so depopulated, as appears from an Inscription placed in the Garden belonging to the School-house, describing those Calamities, which it has never yet recovered, that the Market was removed to Gilshaughlin, four or five Miles from the Town. William King of Scots took this Town, and the Burgh under Stanemore by Suprize, a little before himself was taken at Alnwick; but they were afterward recovered by King John, who gave the Castle and Barony of this Town and the Burgh to John de Vipont, whose Family and that of the Cliffords have been Lords of this County, and flourished at this Place for above 500 Years. Its Market is on Saturdays, and Fairs on Whit monday, May 30, and June 10." "The Assizes are held here in the Town-hall, but the Goal for Malefactors, which was formerly in the Castle, is now at the End of the Bridge. Here is the best Corn-market in all these northern Parts; but the chief Beauty of the Town consists in one broad Street, which runs with an easy Ascent from North and South; at the Head whereof is the Castle, almost surrounded with the River, and with Trenches, where the River comes not. At the Lower-end of the Town are the Church, and a School built by Robert Langton and Miles Spencer, Doctors of [Law,]" goto sourcePage 1023:- "Law, and much improved and augmented by Dr. Smith, late Bishop of Carlisle, and other Benefactors: But the greatest Benefactress to this Town was the Lady Anne, Daughter and Heiress of George Lord Clifford, who in 1651 founded, and afterwards endowed an Hospital here, for a Governess, and twelve other Widows, commonly called, the Mother and twelve Sisters, settled Lands on the Top to the Value of 8 l. a Year to keep up the Repairs of the Church, School-house, Town-hall, and Bridge; rebuilt a good Part of the Church in which she lies interr'd, and wholly rebuilt the Church at Bongate, which is a Part of this Town." "The Town is governed by a Mayor, Recorder, twelve Aldermen, a Common-council, and Serjeants at Mace. It stands on the Roman military Way, which crosses this County from Rear-Cross on Stainmore in the East, to the River Eden, a little below Penrith in the West." |

"Appleby had been a place of great extent and importance. At one period it seemed to have been put on a level with the city of York, for Henry I. bestowed on it equal privileges: York had its charter bestowed on it in the morning, and Appleby in the afternoon of the same day. Henry III. gave another charter, in which all things were like York. In the reign of Edward I. it had a Mayor, and two provosts," goto sourcePennant's Tour 1773, page 142 "who signed the public acts with the mayor, but at present are degraded into two attendants, who follow that magistrate with halberds. The borough sends two Members to Parliament, a privilege first obtained in the time of Edward I." "The town had formerly been of vast extent; for Burrals, i.e. borough-walls, shew its limits on that side, now a mile from the inhabited remains. Bondgate, Dungate, and Scattergate, mark its former entrances at places at present very distant. That a Roman station had been at or near this town, is very certain; and most probably at the Burrals, which might preserve that name through the pre-eminence of antiquity. The Learned differ whether Abbalaba or Galacum was the proper appellation: some contest, from similarity of sound, that it must have been the first. Mr. Horsley, by the more certain rule of observing the distances in Antonine's Itinerary, proves it to have been the latter. It stands on the Roman road, and some antiquities have been found in its neighbourhood. ..." |

On the ascent of the hill above Appleby, the thick hanging woods, and the long reaches of the Eden, clear, rapid and full as ever, winding below, with views of the castle and town, gave much employment to the mirror [1];" "[1] Mr. Gray carried usually with him on these tours a plano-convex mirror, of about four inches diameter, on a black foil, and bound up like a pocket-book. A glass of this sort is perhaps the best and most convenient substitute for a camera obscura, of anything that has hitherto been invented, and may be had of any optician." goto sourceTour to the Caves in the West Riding of Yorkshire, late 18th century Page 243:- "..." "... Bremetonacae [Overborough] is placed ... twenty-seven Roman (or twenty-four English) miles south of Galacum, which some antiquaries conceive to be Apulby, though others with more probability think it was Brough: the distances correspond, besides the additional argument of their being nearly in the same direction, whether we conceive Galacum to be Apulby or Brough. The Roman road is easily traced from Ribchester ... to Overborough; afterwards the Roman road goes through Casterton and Middleton, and, as some think, by Borrow-bridge and Orton, to Apulby. Others, and perhaps from better reasons, are of opinion, the road went by Sedbergh, or Sedburgh, over Blewcaster, along Ravenstonedale-street, and through Kirkby-Stephen, to Brough or Burgh." |

ABALLABA, mentioned in the Notitia, which still retains its name with so little variation as to discover itself most clearly, and remove every doubt. For we call it by shortness from Aballaba Apelby. This place is considered only for antiquity and situation, as in the Roman times it was a station of Aurelian Moors, situate in a very pleasant country, and almost surrounded by the river Eden, but so thin of inhabitants, and meanly built, that were it not that for its antiquity it deserves to be accounted the principal town in the county, and to have the assizes held in its castle, which is the county gaol, it would be little better than a village. For all its beauty consists in one broad street running up a gentle hill from south to north. On the top of the hill is the castle, almost entirely surrounded by the river. At the bottom the church, and a school founded by Robert Langton and Milo Spencer, Doctors of Law, the head master whereof is the very learned Reginald Bainbrigge, who kindly copied for me several antient inscriptions in these parts, and removed several into his garden here. William of Newburgh, not without reason, calls this place and Burgh royal fortresses, when he relates the surprize of them by William king of Scots, a little before he was taken prisoner at Alnwick. King John generously gave them to John de Vipont for his services in re-taking them." |

"Mr. Horsley removes Aballaba to Water-cross on the Wall; the station being placed per lineam valli. It occurs also on lord Hertford's Roman cup, under the name of Avallava, as it is also spelt in Ravennas. Appleby being thus out of the wall, yet from the antiquities found there, and the Roman road a station, he determines it to be GALACUM of the Itinerary, which ever since Mr. Camden's time has been placed at Kirby Thor or Whellop castle." "It is now the best corn market in the county. and has three fairs, makes a neat compact appearance at a distance; the principal street broad, with a good inn fronting the market-cross, which stands aukwardly in the middle of the street. ..." "..." "... The assizes are now held in the town-hall, and the gaol is at the end of the bridge." goto sourcePage 158:- "..." "Appleby has several evidences of its antient splendour. Henry I. gave it privileges equal to York, that city's charter being granted as is pretended in the forenoon and this in the afternoon of the same day. Henry II. granted them another charter of like immunities, as did Henry III. in whose time here was an Exchequer. These privileges were in all points like those of York, and confirmed by succeeding kings. When it was first governed by a mayor does not appear; but here was one in the reign of Edward I. with two provosts, who seem to have been formerly equal to sheriffs or bailiffs, and signed the public acts of the town with the mayor, though now they only attend him with halberds. Bromton mentions Aplebyschire, which seems to imply that it had then sheriffs of its own as most cities had, though now we call them bailiffs. For 2 Edward I. in a confirmation charter to Shap abbey we find this subscription: Teste Thoma filio Johannis tunc vicecomite de Apelby. The Scotch wars by degrees reduced this town. It was burnt 22 Henry II. and again 11 Richard II. when of 2200 burgages by due computation of the fee-farm rents, these remained not above 1/10th as appears by inquisitions in the town chest. Since that time it never recovered itself, but lay dismembered like so many separate villages which could not be known except by records to have belonged to the same body. For though Burgh gate is spoken of as the principal street, yet Bon gate, Battle burgh, Dongate, Scattergate, are all members of it, and that it was antiently of greater extent appears from the Burrals near a mile from it, which word being a corruption of Burrow walls may prove its having been walled about, because the town walls of Bath are called Burrals, and ruins of buildings have been dug up two or three miles from the present town. The condition and misfortunes of this place are recited in the inscription before-mentioned in the school-house garden." "The Viponts and Cliffords (ancestors on the mother's side to the earls of Thanet) have been lords of the country, and flourished at this place for above 400 years. Here was a house of White Friars founded 1281, and near it an hospital of St. Nicholas." |

"APPLEBY, a borough and market town in East Ward, Westmoreland, 10 miles from Penrith, 20 from Carlisle, and 266 from London; contains 120 houses and 711 inhabitants, exclusive of Bongate, a separate parish, but part of the town. It is almost encompassed by the river Eden. It was a Roman station, called Aballaba, and had a military way crossing the country here. The assizes are held in the town-hall, and the judges lodge in the castle, an ancient building at the end of the principal street. It is governed by a mayor, aldermen, and common council; besides its church, an old building which stands at the end of the town, there is another in Bongate. It has a gaol, town-hall, free-school, charity-school, and an hospital for a governess and twelve widows, commonly called the mother and twelve sisters; but here is no manufactory. The market, on Saturday, is the best supplied with corn in this part of the kingdom. This town was taken by suprise by William, king of Scotland, but recovered by king John; and Henry II. granted it privileges equal to the city of York; in the reigns of Henry II. and Richard II. it was set on fire by the Scots, and in 1598 it suffered greatly by pestilence; since which time, it has never recovered its original extent. It is a vicarage, value 9l. 5s. 2d. Patron, the dean and chapter of Carlisle." "..." |

"WE copy the following from the "Kendal Mercury" of March 28, 1863, conceiving it of interest, as tending to settle a question of numismatics upon which different opinions have been entertained." ""In taking down the old dwellings on the south side of Allhallows'-lane, Kendal, consequent on the widening of that street, the workmen turned up a small brass token of the seventeenth century, issued at Appleby, in Westmoreland, in the year 1669." ""Mr. Brockett, in his 'Tradesmen's Tokens (of the seventeenth century) issued in the counties of Cumberland and Westmoreland,' 1853, and republished in the GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE for May of that year, has omitted any notice of this specimen; it is however engraved and described in the latter publication for March, 1792, p.209, without, we believe, being assigned to any county. In Mr. Boyne's elaborate work, 'Tokens issued in the Seventeenth Century in England, Wales, and Ireland,' 1858, and also in Mr. North's 'Leicestershire Tokens.' 1857, it is given, but in both dubiously appropriated to Appleby in Leicestershire." ""We think, however, there can be no question that we are right in claiming this token for our Appleby, from the fact of its occasional - though it must be admitted rare - occurence in this part of the country, and also that William Smith (doubtless the issuer of the token now under consideration) was Mayor of Appleby, in this county, in the years 1667 and 1673." ""If any of our Appleby correspondents could identify the pigeon chosen for his obverse by the William Smith of the token as having any reference or allusion to the trade or occupation of their Mayor of that name, it might further tend to confirm our assumption, and finally decide the question of this token's parentage." ""The token just discovered is of brass, of the farthing size, and is in excellent preservation. It contains on the" ""Obverse - WILLIAM SMITH* = A pigeon pecking." ""Reverse - IN-APPLEBYE-1669* = .*. / W S. / .*." "And is now in the possession of John Hudson, Esq., of Larch How." ""We believe this to be the first time the above token has been accurately delineated, as in all the descriptions we have met with the name of the town is spelled APPLEBIE, instead of APPLEBYE."
