I've received the following from the VCH people. I hope they
don't mind me passing it on, and I hope you don't mind receiving
it.
(The website says that no work has been done on Northumberland. This
is because Northumberland started its own county history in (?)1890,
BEFORE the VCH was thought up. It finished after 15 vols, in 1940,
with only parts of the county covered -- much of the remainder was
covered by John Hodgson's history.)
