The Drustone

"Antiquities of Furness", first published in 1769 purports to give the definitive History of this region of England from the Stone Age to the middle of the eighteenth century. Many of the connections made, and explanations given, in this book now seem implausible and in some cases even hilarious.
"The Drustone " is a fictional story, based on material from this source. A lot of it is true. It is up to you, the discerning reader, to distinguish fact from fabrication.
I think it only right to apologise to Mr.Robinson, Mr.Malloy and Miss Cottam, my former History teachers, who would undoubtedly squirm at the version of Furness' past espoused in this tale.
