Plumpton Hall and the Leven Viaduct

Plumpton Hall, Ulverston, Cumbria.
A 16th century house with 18th century renovations. One of the early owners was John Sawrey, a Puritan much opposed to George Fox and the Quakers. John was drowned in 1665 while attempting to cross the sands. Legend says that the Hall houses a supernatural brass lantern which will always find its own way back to Plumpton Hall.
