Lancashire apple varieties were once popular in other parts of Britain. They include Duke of Devonshire, which was raised
at Holker Hall in the 1830's, Golden Spire, widely grown in Scotland and Keswick Codling an 18th century apple which
was discovered "growing among a quantity of rubbish behind a wall" at Gleaston Castle near Ulverston.
