of hunting, is said to have killed 200 bucks in it (fn. 1) . The prior and convent
of Carlisle had the tithe of venison in this forest (fn. 2) . The Duke of Devonshire is the present proprietor of this forest, which was granted by King
William III. to the Earl of Portland.
There were formerly deer-parks at Cockermouth, Naworth, Brampton,

The Duke of Norfolk has extensive deer parks at Greystock and Gowbarrow (fn. 4) . There are deer parks also at Muncaster and Crofton, and a
