Rothay Manor is a country house near Ambleside in Cumbria. It is a Grade II listed building.[1]
History
The house was built for John Crosfield, a merchant from Liverpool,[2] in 1835 and was originally known as Rothay Bank.[3] The veranda and balcony, which is made of cast iron, was conceived by Mrs Crosfield, who was French.[1] The house came into the ownership of Sir George Mills McKay, treasurer of the English-Speaking Union[4] and a Sheriff of London, in the early 20th century[5] before becoming a hotel and having its name changed to Rothay Manor in 1936.[3] The hotel was acquired by a Mrs Nixon in 1966 and is currently still operated by her sons, Nigel and Stephen Nixon.[3]
