The trustees, in 1750, improperly sold it to John Brown of Wastdale Head, subject to a rent charge of 10l. a year; he sold it along with his estate of Wastdale Head to the the late Sir James Lowther, who, about the year 1775, from some cause or other, refused the payment of this 10l. a year, and witheld it during his life; but when the present William Earl of Lonsdale came to the Lowther estates in 1802, he agreed with the trustess henceforth to allow 25l. a year out of the Wastdale Foot estate, instead of paying up the arrears due from his predecessor." |
