Matthew Emmott at Furness Abbey
There are many photographs on this website, taken by Matthew Emmott from South Lakeland. If you want original copies of any of his photos for publication, or prints, or permission to use the pictures on other websites, then get in touch and I'll pass the message on.
Matthew lives in Kendal and has an intense interest in local history, especially in the South Lakes area. His main photographic obsessions are the castles, tower houses, pele towers and fortified houses of Cumbria and further a field. His visits to sites (not limited to castles etc) are documented in his blog, Matthew's Castle Blog which he updates whenever he can.
Matthew also contributes articles on a monthly basis to the Westmorland Gazette’s web site, and contributes photos to a number of castle web sites as well.
