Cardew House is a sixteenth century country house at Cardew near Thursby in Cumberland. It is a Grade II listed building.[1][2]
History
The house, originally known as Cardew Hall, was built in the early 16th century for the Denton family and was the birthplace of John Denton, a Cumberland historian, in 1561.[1] The house was acquired by Sir John Lowther, a politician, in 1686 and was later the birthplace of Susanna Blamire, a poet, in 1747.[1] By 1790 the house had been acquired by Edward Trimble who farmed Broadmoor and Green Lane as well as Cardew Hall.
Kenneth Smith, writing in the 1970s, identified the farmhouse as a country house of note in his book Cumbrian Villages.[3] The house, which is now owned by Robert Potter, continues to be used as a farmhouse.[1]
