| hearsay |
Thomas Wilkinson, a quaker, was asked by William Wordsworth
to arrange the purchase of this farm house, 1806. The price,
L1000, was L200 more than Wordsworth was willing to pay and
Wilkinson asked Lord Lowther to make up the difference.
Wordsworth was embarassed by the arrangement, refused to
live here, but let it instead. It was sold in 1834 to a
local innkeeper.
