Appleby is not mentioned in any Saxon records, but after the See also:Conquest it See also:rose to importance as the See also:head of the See also:barony of Appleby which extended over the eastern portion of the See also:present county of Westmorland.

James II., was very shortly abandoned. In 1292 we find the mayor and commonalty claiming the right to elect a See also:coroner and to have tolls of markets and fairs. In 1685 the governing See also:body comprised a mayor, aldermen, a town clerk, burgesses of the See also:common See also:council, a coroner and subordinate See also:officers. An undated charter from Henry II. conceding to the burgesses the customs of See also:York, was confirmed in 1 See also:John, 16 Henry III., 14 See also:Edward I., and 5 Edward III. John granted the borough to the burgesses for a See also:fee-See also:farm See also:rent. The impoverishment caused by the Scottish raids led to its seizure by Edward II. for arrears of See also:payment, but Edward III. restored it on the same terms as before. Henry VIII. reduced the fee-farm rent from 20 marks to 2 marks, after an See also:inquisition which found that Appleby was burnt by the Scots in 1388 and that part of it still See also:lay in ruins. The town, however, never seems to have regained its prosperity, and 16th and 17th century writers speak of it as a poor and insignificant See also:village. Appleby returned two members to See also:parliament from 1295 until disfranchised by the Reform See also:Act of 1832. The market and the St See also:- LAWRENCE
