"Cockermouth. Is an ancient Boro[ ]. probably so called by its Ld. Will. Meschines, Ld. of Copeland (Brother of Ranulph E: of Chester) on whom it was bestowed by ye Conqueror. The Honor was afterwds. successively possessed by ye Lucys, Multons, Umframvils & Piercy's E: of Northumberland, wch last remained Ld. of it till ye death of Iosceline Piercy, ye 11th. & last E: of that Illustrious Family, May ye 21st. 1670 [o.] Upon failure of his Issue Male it came to his Grace ye present D. of Somerset, by Marriage of Eliz. Lady Piercy (Relict of Henry Cavendish E. of Ogle) sole Daughter and Heir of ye aforesaid E. of Northumberland. This Borough (for 'tis no Corporation) is govern'd by a Bayliff, chosen yearly by a Jury of 16 Burghers at ye D. of Somerset's Court. It sent Burgesses to Parl. so early as 23d. K. Ed. 1st which it afterwds. omitted, till by order of Parl. Decr. 4th. 1640. This Borough, together with Oakhampton, Honiton, Ashburton, Malton, had that privilege restored, & has ever since carefully preserved it by a constant return of Membs. who are elected by the Inhabitants at large in Number about 300 & returned by the said Bayliff. The Market here is on Mond. & Fair Septr. [2]0th. The Castle is mostly ruinous except that part where ye D. of Somersets Auditor keeps his Courts twice a year, & an apartment over ye Gates where is a large Dining Room, with other Chambers. Tho' his Grace has built a very convenient New House &c for his Bayliffs residence."

"Cockermouth, almost surrounded by the meeting of the Rivers Derwent and Cocker, is a good trading Market Town, with a Castle, formerly belonging to the Earls of Northumberland, and is 226 Miles computed from London, and 288 measured. The Duke of Somerset, is, at present, chief Lord of Cockermouth, in Right of his late Duchess, the only Heiress of the ancient Family of the Piercys, Earls of Northumberland. It is neatly built, but of a low Situation between two Hills, upon one of which is the Church, and upon the other, which seems to be artificially raised on Purpose, stands the Castle, very strong of itself, but more by its advantageous Situation."
"This Town was anciently an Hamlet to Bridgeham. which stands about a Mile off, and had then only a Chapel for the Worship of God; but now it is a Parish, and hath had a Church of its own, dedicated to St. Michael, ... The Houses in the Town are built with Stone, and slated, except some few, and are ranged into two Streets, the one above the River Cocker, in which are the Moot-Hall and Market-House, which is used chiefly for Corn, and the other below, in which is the Beast-Market. The Market is kept on Mondays; and the Fairs are annually on September 29, and Whit-Monday."
"This Borough is no Corporation; its chief Magistrate is a Bailiff, chosen annually by a Jury of 16 Burghers, at the Duke of Somerset's Courts. He is Returning Officer of the Members of Parliament, who are elected by"

"COCKERMOUTH, a borough and market-town, formerly in the parish of Brigham, but now a distinct parish, in Allerdale ward above Derwent, Cumberland, 25 miles from Carlisle, and 302 from London; containing 417 houses and 2865 inhabitants, being 1255 males and 1610 females, of whom 1545 were returned as being employed in trade, &c. It stands on the river Cocker, near its conflux with the Derwent, whence it is named. It contains the ruins of a very ancient castle; ... The town in general is irregularly built; but there are several modern and well built streets and houses, particularly the one ascending to the castle gate, which is very steep; and in that which leads to Derwent bridge, some of the houses are handsomely built of red freestone. The upper and lower parts of the town are divided by the Coker, and united by a bridge of one arch. The church or chapel was rebuilt in 1711. Beneath the Derwent is an extensive plain, with a public walk a mile long; the river on one hand falling in gentle cascades, and the banks enriched by corn-fields and meadows; while, on the other hand, the level mead is bounded by a rising ground covered with wood. The one end of this walk terminates by scattered rocks, covered with trees, and the other by the ruins of the castle. The town is governed by a bailiff, chosen at the court of the lord of the manor by a jury of 16 burgesses, and sends two members to parliament. The principal manfactures here are, tanned leather, hats, shalloons, coarse woollens, and linens. The principal market is on Mondays, well supplied with provision and grain, and a small one on Saturdays. Fairs, Monday after Martinmas and Whitsunday, for hiring servants; one for horned cattle, first Monday in May, continuing that day fortnight till 30th October, concluding with the Michaelmas fair, the only one for horses. The fair for servants is held in the castle-yard; the cattle fair in the spacious street below the bridge; and the horse fair on a common adjoining Gallow Barrow. The church is a curacy. - Hutchinson's Cumberland."

Descriptive text:-  "VIEW OF COCKERMOUTH."
"COCKERMOUTH is a considerable borough and market-town, about 13 miles from Whitehaven, 26 from Carlisle, and 314 from London. The Barony, or Honour, of Cockermouth, was given by William de Meschines to Waldeof, son of Gospatrick, Earl of Dunbar, whose grand-daughter brought it to William Fitz Duncan, nephew of Malcolm, King of Scotland. One of the co-heiresses of Fitz Duncan, who was twice married, died without issue; the two others, whose issue eventually shared this barony between them, married William Le Gros, Earl of Albemarle, and Reginald de Lucy; the heiress of Lucy married Multon, who took the name of Lucy. After the death of William de Fortibus, Earl of Albemarle, and Isabel, his Countess, without issue, a moiety of the castle and honour of Cockermouth fell to the Crown, and having been for a while in the possession of Pierre Gaveston, by the grant of Edward II., was, some years afterwards, granted to Anthony, Lord Lucy, already possessed by inheritance of the other moiety. Maud, sister and heiress of this nobleman, who died in 1366, settled the castle and honour of Cockermouth on Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland, her second husband, and his heirs male, on condition that they should bear the arms of Lucy quartered with their own. Elizabeth, sole daughter and heiress of Josceline, last Earl of Northumberland, brought Cockermouth and other large estates to Charles Seymour, Duke of Somerset. Lady Catherine, second daughter and co-heiress of the Duke, married Sir William Wyndham, whose son, Sir Charles, was, in 1749, created Earl of Egremont, and was father of George, Earl of Egremont, the present possessor of the honour or barony of Cockermouth. The park, which was long ago disparked and sold to Sir Thomas Wharton, has since been reunited to the honour."
"..."
"Cockermouth returned members to Parliament in the reign of Edward I. This ancient privilege was restored in 1640. The right of election is in the burgess holders, who are about 280 in number. The Bailiff is the returning officer. The late Earl of Liverpool, before his elevation to the peerage, was member of parliament for this borough. The Epiphany Sessions are held at Cockermouth."
"The market on Monday was granted to William de Fortibus, Earl of Albemarle, in 1226; it is a considerable market for corn, provisions, &c. A great market, or fair, is held every other Wednesday, from the beginning of May till Michaelmas, and there are annual fairs on Whit-Monday and Martinmas-Monday, for hiring servants."
"Browne Willis states the number of houses at Cockermouth only at 255, in 1714; in 1785 there were, according to Hutchinson, 663 families, and 2652 inhabitants; in 1801, there were 417 inhabited houses, 690 families, and 2865 inhabitants; in 1811, 602 houses, 709 families, and 2964 inhabitants, according to the returns made to Parliament at those periods. At Cockermouth are considerable manufactories of cotton, linen, and woollen, and the tanning and currying trade is carried on to a great extent."
"There was at this place a chapel of ease to Brigham, in 1394; the present structure was built in 1711; the old tower remains. The Earl of Lonsdale is patron of the curacy. There are meeting-houses at Cockermouth for the Presbyterians, Quakers, and the Methodists. The Rev. John Fell, an eminent dissenting minister, born at Cockermouth in 1735, wrote on the Demoniacs, on Rowley's Poems, on English Grammar, and on the Idolatry of Greece and Rome. He died at London in the year 1797."

The whole place is very prosperous; the markets and fairs are numerously attended and well supplied.
