| notes:- |
William Wordsworth had a disagreement with his landlady, Lady Fleming, and feared
eviction from Rydal Mount. He designed a house, with architect George Webster, to
be built on Dora's Field (or Rash Field). This is Wordsworth's idea of the vernacular:
unsymmetrical; gloomy grey, no render and whitewash; tall rooms; shallow pitch roofs;
gables and dormers. It was never built. |
