Hutton-in-the-Forest, Cumberland   (Heritage Site)

Hutton-in-the-Forest is a fortified tower with large country-house extensions and gardens in Cumberland. The first known historical reference to Hutton-in-the-Forest is 1292 when King Edward I visited Thomas de Hoton, Crown Forester of Inglewood Forest. The house was owned by the de Hotons through the Middle Ages until 1605 when it was sold to Richard Fletcher, a successful merchant from Cockermouth. Originally a mediæval stronghold with a pele tower, succeeding generations have altered and added to the house, and the outside and inside show a wide variety of architectural and decorative styles from the 17th century to the present day. The house contains fine collections of furniture, ceramics, tapestry and portraits. The gardens contain some excellent tree specimens and a large collection of herbaceous plants. It is the historic home of Lord & Lady Inglewood. It is within the council area of Westmorland and Furness.
