I'm pleased to share that four more melodies have been added to the Cumbrian Folk Melody Archive - these are:

1. The Lowther Hunt - From an anonymous tunebook. The Lowther family have a long association with Cumbria, being based at Lowther Castle near Penrith.

2. Noble Squire Dacre comes over the Border - From an anonymous tunebook c. 1830. The Dacre Family also have a strong Cumbrian connection, having a strong association with Naworth Castle near the Scottish border.

3. Weatherall's Quick Step - From the Harrison manuscript. Wetheral is a village near Carlisle.

4. Trip to the Lakes - From an anonymous tunebook
