High Grathwaite, belongs to Miles Sandys, Esq; owner of Estthwaite Water. From this family and place came William Lord Sandys, chamberlain to King Henry the VIII. who was by that king (bene merito) advanced to that dignity." goto sourcePage 152:- "... Both these houses are very good modern buildings, and both the owners seem to have a great predilection for gardening; their situation is in a hollow circus, which disappoints them of viewing the Lake Winandermere. ... The houses are sheltered from the winds on every side, but are extremely hot in Summer; and as the descent to the Lake is steep and woody, the traveller will be agreeably surprized at his coming in view (suddenly) of these beautiful mansions, in the midst of wood and desart." |
