| hearsay:- |
Built by Crump, merchant from Liverpool, 1805. The Wordsworths lived here, 1808-11,
not liking the smoky chimneys. Much of The Excursion was written here. Samuel Taylor
Coleridge lived with the Wordsworths, and dictated issues of The Friend to Sarah Hutchinson
1809-1810. Canon Rawnsley lived here 1917-20, he died 28 May 1920, and left the house
to the National Trust, on condition his widow could live there. |
