Dalemain
Dalemain is a country house 10 miles south-west of Penrith in Cumbria. It is a Grade I listed building. [1]
History
A peel tower was built on the site during the reign of King Henry II.[2] The old hall dates back to the 14th century, with wings added in the 16th century; the building has remained in the Hasell family since 1679 when it was acquired by Sir Edward Hasell, who had been steward to Lady Anne Clifford.[3] In 1840 Edward and his wife Dorothea had a daughter who grew to be the writer Elizabeth Julia Hasell.[4] The main frontage to the building was added in 1744.[5]
The house benefits from an extensive garden which received the Garden of the Year Award, sponsored by the Historic Houses Association and Christie's, in 2013.[6] Plants in the garden include a Greek fir which had been a gift from Joseph Banks, the botanist, in the 1840s.[6]
