Sunset Series The Last Wolf with Dr Bill Shannon, 26 September 2023
The Last Wolf: A Story of England in the Fourteenth Century by Dr Bill Shannon
Around the year 1900, Mrs Jerome Mercier published a little book, telling a romantic tale culminating in a wild hunt after England’s last wolf, ending with its being killed on Humphrey Head. Mrs Mercier herself says she got the tale from a book by James Stockdale, published in 1872, but in fact the story seems to have first appeared in print in 1820, although its origin seems to relate to the Harrington Tomb, a mid-14th century monument in Cartmel Priory.
In the talk we will follow the hunt, guided by historian Bill Shannon, through the Cartmel Peninsular - and try to disentangle fact from fantasy.

Great vid Dr Shannon, absolutely fascinating. I think there is a report of an 18th century entire Royal Navy fleet anchored in the Hoyle Lake; as for the Wyre hypothesis for the location of Sentatus Portus; I think it is plausible as it is very sheltered from west winds; but what would they export? Whereas Meols; as you say u have salt from Cheshire and Copper from Ormes Head; which is very valuable.
Why is it called Cumberland and Westmorland Antiquarian when every site you mentioned is in the historic county of Lancashire?
saw a polecat just outside kirby stephen westmorland caught in my headlights a couple of years ago.
Look at the number of wolf related place names in The Forest of Bowland like Wolf Fell, Wolf Hole Crags and Fiendsdale.
If you go into the woods on the east side of Humphrey head in summer there is a sight that needs to be seen to believed; The oak trees are literally draped in honeysuckle (woodbine) and the flowers and scent are incredible.
Just came across this as a UA-cam recommendation. Love walking the canal, so much to see! Very informative. Is there anymore talks like this? Brilliant thanks.
❤so please get facts right.
The first people of stone age were from the lavant.all cal adonaii tribe.came from Ireland why hide it and you dismissed outer Hebrides. And eber came to them.all of Scotland know. please make sure that you are correct.scythians.tribe of dan.judah and asshur.tuatha de danaan
Laban is ancient hebrew.phoenecians were copper mining.in Llandudno and llan means where.its all down Welsh coast.heroditas.stabo and Josephus.recorded all people's and history.
Leven or laban sands.off anglesey.laban means white.so white sands.
Mor in ancient Hebrew means myrrh...go back further.like iron age or bronze
And now they are destroying it, Canal and River Trust are a disaster for our canal, leaking and silted up, fish struggling for life, they can't even get booms in to fill up areas above the leak/s, this is absolute hog wash, get it back in experienced hands, disgrace.
I remember crossing the bay to Grange with a friend and then again with my brother in law. We set off from Bare about an hour after high water. It was very interesting, particularly when we crossed the Kent channel. it was very deep and steep sided. So much so that we couldn't see either shore! I had spent the summer as a lifeguard in Morecambe and had carefully studied the movement of water at every stage of the tides, both at neaps and springs. Bill
Fanny Brierley was my great aunt, she was the sister of my great grandmother Martha Ann Kippax.
What are the chances of getting the Atlantic Sturgeon back in the Bay? Seems to me it would be perfect habitat. And if not why not?
Great vid Yolanda; great info.... 👍 Think you are also a great speaker and storyteller...
"Promo SM" 😅
Just found new information about my Great Grandfathers mother Sarah Robinson, nee Sagar. Sarah drowned in 1894 in Morcambe Bay in the Matchless boating disaster. My Great Grandfathers 13yr old sister survived as she wouldnt get on the boat... this research is very informative thank you ..
This was a brilliant project. Took a day and just off the road, another world in easy reach. Raised my awareness of Saltmarsh conservation and so good to breathe, stretch my eyes and just be there.
Thanks so much for your kind comments and we are so glad that you got a lot from the project :)
I love thèse sessions. They are fun and informative. It opens your eyes to people and places around our beautiful Bay. I’ve learnt so much about the history and ongoing care of the bay and its inhabitants.
That's great to hear @wendyhilling, thank you for your lovely comments. :)
Three Brothers used to be one of our favourite walks , closed to public by Leighton Hall even though the walk has been on the ordnance survey map for generations.
Really interesting an informative talk enjoyed it so much thank you
Lovely Abbey the red stone on places is unusual ,but marvellous masonry and a tribute to it's builders ,among the best in Britain one feels .
This made me Cry 😢 Wonderful xx
In a good way we hope @bigearedmouse17
My father told me when I was a kid, I’m 82 now that Morecambe was on Roman maps and was probably earlier, thanks that was fascinating.
Hello, thank you for your comment. We're so glad that you enjoyed this talk. Do have a look through the other talks on our UA-cam channel and keep an eye out to join our events in the coming months - see www.morecambebay.org.uk/whats-on to find out more.
My ancestors, the Cockerham's, were Abbott's there. After the dissolution of the Abbey by Henry the 8th in 1537, they moved south to the Isle of Purbeck Dorset where they purchased Hillersdon house. Then in the early 1600s, my ancestor Captain William Cockerham came to the colonies and settled in Jamestown, Virginia . I read previously that the Cockerham's and Prestons were intermarried. Would love to find out if that's true or not and learn more about the Cockerham's history at Furness Abbey
I'd love to learn the archaeological side. How can I volunteer. 🙂
Id like to know how things are going with the doormice into.
Also I have seen the Vincent wildlife trust behind the pine Martin reintroduction s in the UK so can I ask who gives the final decision about if pine Martin reintroduction is allowed and who will you work with to actually get the animals into the scheme and the area?
Teenagers don't like cold water or any water...
Do you know how many hazel doormice are in the arnside and silver dale area?... Or the north of England...i have heard that this area used to have quite a few of them..
Any idea how many terns are breeding throughout Morecambe bay area including walney
Brilliant. Super work
My great grandad John Brierley was the brother of William Brierley who drowned in the Matchless disaster.It was John who brought Fanny, Ben and his brother's body back from Morecambe to Burnley where I still live.Thank you for your research.
Thank you! Absolutely fascinating.
A very sad story , didn’t know about this at all . DAVID HUGILL, Warton,born in BURNLEY , came to live in Morecambe in 1952.
The 3 brothers are not on the Crag itself , but can be walked to but not on a public path . They are shown on the os map however . DAVID HUGILL . WARTON
Fantastic! Really Really enjoyed listening to Gill. So interesting.
Glad you enjoyed it!
So interesting. Enormous credit to you all.

That is bloody fantastic, thanks Alison (your knowledge astounds me) and also Morecambe Bay Partnership.
Hi! how interesting... do you put food in that pole?
Love that place. Mesmeric. I was there in October. I live abroad, so it is always particularly special to go there. A wonderfully built structure.
Nice try and all that, a suggestion for the next one would be to employ more sources as this will give you the opportunity to move, lift and combine the audio and avoid the hard cuts with blending you now have.
Excellent - well done MBP, looking forward to visiting
I'm impressed you managed to have such lovely images without the thousands of wind turbines dominating the sky and coast line, love the bay but it has broken my heart seeing all these ...nuclear power should be considered, take care
brilliant !
I live and work in South Korea, but Morecambe Bay is my spiritual home. I'm really enjoying the lectures. The Trust is doing a fantastic job and I'll try and give what (little) support I can. Thank you!
How wonderful David - thank you for your kind words and support.
