| hearsay:-   | 
            Here, a plot for a cottage with orchard and grounds, 'on the banks of a rill that
                  gurgles down the side of Skiddaw', was bought by Sir George Beaumont for William Wordsworth,
                  1803 - before he knew the poet. The Wordsworth never moved here from Dove Cottage.
                  In the house is a brass plaque:- | 
         |||
| "Beaumont, it was thy wish that I should rear A seemly cottage in this sunny dell."  | 
         ||||
| The nearby stream was long known as Wordsworth's Ghyll. |
