| story:- |
By two cottages a mile from Plumbland is an old mulberry tree in which a royalist,
Thomas Dykes, hid after the Battle of Marston Moor, 1644. He was fed by his wife and
daughter who brought food from Ward Hall. His hiding in the tree was successful, but
he was later captured, and died in Cockermouth Castle where he was kept prisoner. |
