"Crossing a rivulet that runs past Mire_house, and falls down Heysom-Gill, we leave Bassenthwaite, and enter the parish of Crossthwaite and manor of Brundum, commonly here called Under-Skiddow, the manor of Edward Hassell, Esquire. It here follows a little hollow up Ullock, (but not Heysom-Gill,) to the top of Skiddow, and from thence runs to Glenderatera before named, (which divides it from Threlkeld,) and so down to the Greeta to Derwent. This manor was mostly customary, till lately, when many have purchased their estates to freehold, the lord reserving the royalties; and the whole have now an offer of enfranchising, which they are likely to accept." "..." "... Passing along this road, towards Keswick, are many pleasant villages, (see plate VIII.) where several gentlemen take up lodgings in the Summer time, and pitch Marquees to enjoy the beauties of this place." |
