More about this scene

About half a mile south of the village of Blencow is the house known as Ennim Bank. The name derives from 'innam', meaning a piece of land which was enclosed or taken in. It is thought to have been the original residence of the Blencow family before they moved to Blencow Hall. In the mid 19th century George Troutbeck greatly improved the mansion and ornamented it with 'plantations'. More recently it was the home of Viscount William Whitelaw of Penrith until his death in 1999.

Also on the left, just out of the ...see more
