St Cuthbert's Church, Edenhall

Edenhall is a village located about a mile south of Langwathby,[1] in the Eden district, in the county of Cumbria, England. Edenhall has a church called St Cuthbert's Church.[2] The name Edenhall originates from Eden Hall house, the seat of the Musgrave family.[3]

Eden Hall

The original Eden Hall was extended in the 1700s from materials salvaged from the demolition of Hartley castle, the ancestral home of the Musgrave family. It was rebuilt in 1821 by Sir Robert Smirke and rebuilt again in white stone in an Italianate style in the late 1860s. The hall was sold in the early 1900s when the Musgrave family moved to London and was demolished in 1934. [4]

The hall was noteworthy as the home of the Luck of Eden Hall, one of the oldest glass vessels in existence. Reputedly stolen from the fairies it was actually an Islamic beaker probably brought to England during the Crusades.
