- "ALLERDALE, two wards in Cumberland. The one is called Allerdale-above-Derwent; the other Allerdale-below-Derwent. The former contains Cockermouth and Ravenglass, and is bounded mainly by Bassenthwaite water, Derwent water, Lancashire, and the Irish sea; while the latter contains Maryport and Allerby, and extends conterminously with the former from the Irish sea to the [East].
