Langrigg Hall
Langrigg Hall is a country house near the village of Langrigg in Cumbria. It is a Grade II listed building.[1]
History
The hall was reconstructed by Thomas Bawis in the mid-18th century.[2] John Barwis (1775-1818), who was also Rector of Niton in the Isle of Wight, was one of its prominent owners,[3] and his son William Barwis,[4] was still in possession of Langrigg manor in 1860.[5] In 1876, its ownership changed to Joseph Bowerbank of Cockermouth.[2] The hall is currently the base for a large free range egg production enterprise.[6]
