Many members will no doubt be familiar with Stockdale’s Annals of Cartmel published in 1872. The tome contains a rich wealth of historical information. However, the book lacks a decent index or contents page. Peter Roden has painstakingly produced a Contents / index which will be of great value for researchers of Local History of the Cartmel Peninsula.
