Page 152:-  "Low Grathwaite is the property of William Rawlinson, Esquire. 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. Mr Rawlinson has at one end of his garden a mount, underneath which is a cellar, and on the top a flower garden, surrounded with a fanciful yew hedge; this commands a pretty extensive view of the Lake through an opening in the woods. 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."
