CARTMEL FELL & DISTRICT LOCAL HISTORY SOCIETY

Presents:

"Brockhole 125, a pictorial history of a house and garden" - a talk by Kevin Grice

Brockhole House, on the shore of Lake Windermere, was built for a wealthy silk merchant, William Gaddum.  This Arts and Crafts villa was designed by Dan Gibson,  with gardens created by Thomas Mawson. 

Kevin Grice will tell the story of Brockhole House and trace its ownership through photographs from the Gaddum Archive to which he has been given unique access. 

Kevin is a retired barrister and part-time judge, who is now extensively involved with local history and archaeology in Cumbria.

The History society meets regularly at Cartmel Fell Parish Hall and puts reminders of its programme on Facebook.
