Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Transactions of the Cumberland and Westmorland Antiquarian and Archaeological Society, Vol. 13
In at least one case, the imprisonment by Lord Cum berland of one Francis Marr in the Castle of Skipton the Council interfered with commendable promptitude to check what seems to have been a grievous case of oppression.
The religious troubles of the reign appear to have little affected the Border counties. We find, however, one case in which two prebendaries of Carlisle bearing the names still familiar to us of Kirkbride and Sewell were summoned before the Council. The cause does not appear but it was probably heresy. Nothing is said as to their fate, but as they do not appear in Foxe's list we may hope that they escaped the stake.
