    3. Hi Sarah Thanks for the kind words. Actually I already put Westmorland - Magna Britannica is already online. Links to it from "Description & travel" You sent me the data on a CD once with the Bellasis church notes. I didn't do anything with Vale of Lyvenet because to be honest I didn't realise where it was :-( But as it includes Crosby Ravensworth, of course I will put it on. Also Jones...
