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]
