	hearsay	Built on the site of an earlier house inhabited by monks, 1263. There was a forestair to a loft where packmen travelling could take a rest. A small building was once a pigsty at ground floor, privy at first floor, and henhouse at second floor level.
	notes	The Hawkshead Parish Account book, 1786, includes:- Journey horse hire and expenses to Backbarrow to Eliner Preston to take her child to Mr. Kellets of Long Sleddale to be cured of a scabbed head 2/6.
