notes:-  
Raisley Calvert, in 1794, aged 21, fell ill and was nursed in this inn by William Wordsworth, who was only three years older. Raisley died January 1795, and was buried at Greystoke on the 12th. In his will he left L900 to William Wordsworth, which enabled him to follow his poetic bent.

Baron 1925
