place data Raw data from the Old Cumbria Gazetteer has been downloaded in comma delimited form for the few places that are described in Drnken Barnaby's Journeys 1638. 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.

Fields

The fields in the table are:-
  • source the source type abbreviation; eg Simpson 1746
  • source refce the page where the description can be found (P number); eg BBY1P013.htm
  • source quote how the place is named in the source; eg 'Kendall'
  • source placename a regularised version of the text's placename; eg Kendall
  • modern placename the definitive placename used in the Old Cumbria Gazetteer; eg Kendal
  • civil parish the modern civil parish or equivalent area (post 1974) where the place is; eg:- Kendal
  • county the modern county where the place is; eg:- Cumbria
  • country the modern country where the place is; eg:- England
  • coordinates a national grid reference for the place; eg:- NY482056
  • 10Km square a 2 figure grid reference for the place; eg:- NY40
