"A
medieval Tudor and Georgian house that has been in the same family
since 1679"
The fantastic house contains behind its Georgian facade, a wealth
of Tudor and Mediaeval rooms and buildings.
The Old Hall was added in the 14th century, along with another
tower.
In the 16th century, two projecting wings were added creating a
typical Elizabethan manor house and in 1744, the impressive
Georgian front was constructed to enclose an inner courtyard.

Lowther Castle |
|
 |
"Built for the fifth Earl of Lonsdale,
between 1806 and 1814"
From 1882 to the early 1920s, parties and
sporting weekends at the castle were visited
by royalty, heads of state and politicians.
The Earl's extravagance however, ruined the
family fortunes. To avoid death duties the
roof and windows were removed in 1957,
leaving a skeleton of a building which looms
eerily over its surrounding estate.
Exciting and ambitious plans are now in
place to turn this largely derelict site
into a unique visitor attraction.

Brougham Hall |
|
 |
"England’s
most ambitious country house restoration project"
Brougham Hall was dubbed by Victorians as the “Windsor
of the North”.
Its physical appearance and fine elevated position above
a broad river were two obvious similarities.
Brougham Hall’s long connection with royalty provided
the real link. King George V (as he later became) was a
regular guest, and so was King Edward V11 whose sporting
interests in Cumbria, it was rumoured, covered a broad
range of different quarries.
