Ulpha and the Wordsworth Connection

Geoff again and a family connection to yet another fabulous part of North West England, this time Ulpha in the Duddon Valley in Cumbria.  We haven't managed to get up as far as this yet for a visit but Geoff's Braithwaite branch lived in Ulpha in the 1840s and 1850s; indeed his great-great-grandfather who died in Ulpha aged only 30 in 1855 died of cancer according to his death certificate .... something you don't often see in those days.  William Wordsworth himself was a fan of Ulpha and even wrote a poem about the church there .... The Kirk of Ulpha.
