Apparently the locals are talking of holding a raffle with the winner taking over the Lordship (or Ladyship) if the community buys it. I think I'll have a bit of that. I could post here as Lord Blencathra... Why not Nigel! Julian Cope called himself Lord Yatesbury for many years (though I think it was a phase). I bumped into a Rambler friend this morning and was reminded of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act which came into force in 2005. In effect it operated as a compulsory purchase order causing many landowners to lose out on income from grouse shooting. http://www.naturalengland.gov.[...]access/openaccess/default.aspx Reply | with quote |  12th May 2014ce 20:53 In reply to: Re: How can Blencathra be for sale?
