From the Compendium of County History:- "'In Calgarth's sole domain a mansion stands,
...
Each flank is covered by a wooded hill,
Near whose gay sides the silver Troutbeck flows,
[ ] having left that source whence she arose,
Impetuous rushing her rough rocks among,
And in the lake's deep bosom glides along,
Pleas'd to partake in her extended fame,
She yields her tribute and becomes the [same].'"
