hearsay:-  
Here, a plot for a cottage with orchard and grounds, 'on the banks of a rill that gurgles down the side of Skiddaw', was bought by Sir George Beaumont for William Wordsworth, 1803 - before he knew the poet. The Wordsworth never moved here from Dove Cottage. In the house is a brass plaque:-
"Beaumont, it was thy wish that I should rear
A seemly cottage in this sunny dell."
The nearby stream was long known as Wordsworth's Ghyll.
