The green at Eaglethorpe

Uploader's Comments

Eaglethorpe is a small daughter settlement of Warmington. It is not mentioned in the Domesday Book and first appears as a place name in 1297. This view looks across the green, past the information board about Eaglethorpe to Eaglethorpe House. This was described as newly built in 1607, when it was occupied by Mary, the widow of Giles Orme who die in 1605. It is the oldest building in Eaglethorpe.
