Although it has been overshadowed by the COVID-19 crisis, 2020 is another important year for the English Lake District. It is the 250th anniversary of William Wordsworth's birth and the centenary of Hardwicke Drummond Rawnsley's death. The former is the well-known Romantic Poet Laureate, and the latter an Anglican priest and the founding member of the National Trust, who inspired Beatrix Potter concerning the importance of conservation.
