Ashton House, Cumbria
History
The house was built in 1678[1] probably for John and Sarah Yeats: their daughter, Mary Yeats, died there at the age of 25 in the mid 18th century.[2] It was inherited by John Yeats Thexton in the first part of the 19th century[3] and by Edward Yeats Thexton in the latter part of the 19th century[4] and then passed to Charles Frith-Hudson, who had married into the Thexton family, at the start of the 20th century.[5][6] It became a wedding venue in the 21st century.[7]
gollark: Hmm, now CraftOS-PC won't run it again because it doesn't support readAll on binary file handles, troubling. I may have to add fallbacks.
gollark: PotatOS does bizarre exotic stuff all over the place, and your OS doesn't do anything hugely cursed, so who knows why.
gollark: PotatOS broke in it for a while, but I fixed that, without actually figuring out why.
gollark: It still runs all (most) CC programs.
gollark: It has lots of extra features like that.
