Lingholm

The house was built in 1871–1875 for Lt-Col James Fenton Greenall (1834–1899), of the Greenall brewing family, Commanding Officer of the 9th Lancashire Rifle Volunteers, at a cost of £15,700 by Alfred Waterhouse.

[2] They commissioned Bertram Symons-Jeune to design the water garden at Lingholm.

Between 1885 and 1907, Beatrix Potter spent her summer holidays at Lingholm, where she wrote some of her best-known stories.

[4] During World War I, the house was used as a hospital for wounded officers.

[1] As a result of Beatrix Potter's connection and its unique design by a well respected architect, Lingholm was listed Grade II on the National Heritage List for England in 2013.
