Cumbria and the Lake District
The building used by the poet William Wordsworth between March 1813 and July
1843
while Distributor of Stamps for Westmorland in Church
Street, Ambleside. This was a controversial occupation for
a man who had previously been regarded as something of a firebrand, he had
now joined the establishment and gained
£400 per annum a very large sum in those days.
