Légende

Procession up Hoad-Hill, the Site of the Memorial, 1850. Laying of the foundation stone at the site of a monument to Sir John Barrow, British geographer, linguist, writer and civil servant, in Ulverston, Cumbria. 'The procession then advanced by the serpentine road to the summit of the Hill of Hoad...This hill has many claims for this mark of respect to be erected on its summit. It was the favourite resort of Sir John in his days of boyhood...From Hoad may be seen the cottage of his birth, at Dragley Beck - the school in which he was educated - the town through which he daily passed to school, and the churchyard in which lay the remains of his parents. The prospect from the summit comprises some of the finest scenery in the Lake district'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
