Campaign for Historic Counties
@RealCounties
Historic Counties are so-called because they ‘have a lot of history’. Let’s celebrate them more, and stop confusing counties with local admin zones.

"Lancashire was founded in the 12th century; in the Domesday Book of 1086 much of what would become the county is treated as part of Yorkshire and Cheshire. Until the Early Modern period the county was a comparatively poor backwater, although in 1351 it became a palatine, with a semi-independent judicial system."
So are we all really Yorkshire or Cheshire folk then?
