| place data |
Raw data from the Old Cumbria Gazetteer has been downloaded
in comma delimited form for places that are shown
on Christopher Saxton's map of Westmorland and
Cumberland, 1576. The data is suitable for loading into
a flat table, as used by dBase, Access, Oracle and
other relational table systems. The limitations of
such systems make it impossible to provide the full data
from the original MODES database which works on more
powerful principles.
