Description of 1 The Knoll
The Knoll, a grade II listed building, is steeped in history, being the former home of Harriet Martineau, writer, economist and benefactor to the local people of Ambleside. Having being invited to convalesce on the shores of Windermere after a serious illness, Harriet became enchanted by the beauty of Lakeland and, once recovered, set to make the area her home. Having purchased a field behind the local Methodist Chapel, Harriet designed The Knoll, employing local tradesmen to create what her friend Wordsworth described as being the wisest step of her life, for the value of the property will be doubled in ten years.
