Gentleman's Magazine 1841 part 2 p.53
From a review of The History and Antiquities of Leath Ward, by Samuel Jefferson. "..."
"A very recent alteration has taken place in the division of Cumberland. The five Wards
of which it consisted have been formed into six. Leath Ward, however, remains unaltered
... It comprises the south-eastern portion of the county; is about thirty-five miles
in length east and west, and in breadth north and south very irregular, in no part
exceeding fourteen miles. It contains twenty-one parishes, of which that of the town
of Penrith is first noticed in the present volume."
