Bridge House was built in the late 17th to early 18th century

and was initially designed as an apple store and built over the river to avoid land tax. The minute bridge was built to link the house and gardens of the former Hall with the orchards on the other side of the stream.
In the 1920s, a group of residents came together to help fund repairs to the house, including the wife of National Trust founder Hardwicke Rawnsley, Edith Fletcher, William Wordsworth’s grandson, Gordon Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter’s husband, William Heelis.
They raised enough to buy the house and donated it to the National Trust, which looks after it today.
