ulverston

Ulverston is a market town in the (administrative) county of Cumbria in north-west England. Over the years the town has been the birthplace of several famous people. Sir John Barrow, born at Dragley Beck, was the Admiralty's Second Secretary: a much more important position than First Secretary. Comedian Stan Laurel of Laurel and Hardy fame; Norman Birkett, who represented Britain at the Nuremberg Trials, to name just a few. In the Domesday Book, the town was referred to as 'Ulvreston' and was of sufficient note to receive a Market Charter in 1280. Ulverston keeps its old market town appearance, and market days are held on Thursdays and Saturdays. The town is set between the sea and the mountains, close to the Lake District, and just north of Morecambe Bay.
