A lawn lies in front of the house and treetops are visible behind it. The work was accompanied by a letter dated 28 July 1816, from Ellen Hankey to Emily Fuller in which she writes; 'Holmrook; there was noone living there, so we were shown all over the house and gardens and certainly I never saw a lovelier spot. The house stands on a grassy terrace, hanging over the clear winding stream of the Irt, and there is much beautiful wood which makes a foreground to a splendid view of a mountain range of very varied shapes. Of all the places I ever saw, I think I should like to live there the best.' Ellen Blake was born at Holmrook 5 August 1802 and baptised at Irton. She married John Alexander Hankey at St George's, Hanover Square 30 August 1825. initialled at bottom right:- "MHDC" labelled at reverse:- "Holmrook, Cumberland.
