This text is taken from a report on the ports, creeks and landing places in Cumberland, commissioned by Queen Elizabeth I, and compiled at Carlisle on 28 Apr 1566 by Henry Lord Scrope, John Aglionby & George Lamplughe. The extract appears in "Pedigree of Sir Josslyn Pennington" by Joseph Foster (1878) from the original survey in the National Archives (State Papers Domestic, addenda vol. xiii, no. 13). Spelling and punctuation have been modernised by me except for names:

Ravenglasse: Another of the creeks hath certain inhabitations near situate the same, called Ravenglasse, of ten householders of the inheritance of William Penington; and of the creek and landing place, the Earl of Northumbrelande is chief Lord and governor. And for the licence to load or unload at the Fair time, called Saint James tide, the said Earl of Northumbrelaunde, William Penington, and Thomas Stanleye doth licence.

Item. There is four several vessels called pickards, of the burden of nine or ten ton, or thereabout, the owners whereof is Walter Cadye, William Cadye, William Couplande and Nicolas Harbet, and their partners, whose common trade is to go to Chester, Leverpoole, and those coasts, with carriage of herrings, and to buy salt; and by estimation, four will serve for the government of any of the said vessels, whereof be no mariners, but fishermen, hired when they trade the said voyages.
