style, has lately been built and consecrated for the use of
the inhabitants. Population, (with Heversham,) 1509;

|
Heversham
|
|
|
Heversham is a neat village, having a grammar-school,
at which Bishop Watson received his early education under
the immediate superintendence of his father, and a noble
church, of which there is a very striking view in passing.
Near this are three pleasant villas - Plumptree Bank,-
Wilson, Esq.; Plumptree Hall,- Pedder, Esq.; and
Deepthwaite,- Bindloss, Esq.
|
Levens Bridge
|
|
|
Levens-Bridge spans the Kent. The roads to Bowness
and Ulverstone, through the romantic vale of Witherslack,
turn off here to the left. A beautiful foot-path through
Levens-Park leads along the wooded banks of the Kent to
Kendal, 5½ miles. Levens-Park, the seat of the Hon.
Fulke G. Howard, is the admiration of every one.
|
Sizergh Castle
|
|
|
Sizergh Hall on the left.- If the tourist has any
penchant for fine old carved wainscotings, &c., and rooms
exhibiting the massive and splendid style of ancient days,
he should by all means turn aside to this remnant of feudal
strength.
|
Kendal
|
|
|
KENDAL is a flourishing town, being the largest in
Westmorland, and is placed in a very agreeable valley,
enlivened by the meanderings of the Kent. A full description
of it will be found at page 19.
