Millennium plaque at King's Meaburn, Cumbria.
The plaque reads:
'This village was part of the Manor of Meaburn. The Lord of the Manor was Hugh de Morville. He was implicated in the murder of Archbishop Thomas A'Beckett in Canterbury Cathedral on 29th December 1170. It is recorded that he held back the crowd with his sword whilst the other knights did the awful deed. Following Hugh's rebellion in 1173 his lands were confiscated by King Henry II. Henry granted half the Manor to Hugh's sister Maud and retained to this day the other half which is King's Meaburn in the Barony of Westmorland.'
