Location/Directions Situated in the popular village of Cumwhitton approximately 8 miles south of Brampton and Carlisle and in the catchment area of William Howard School, Brampton. NOTE We believe Cumwhitton House was built for the famous Cumbrian artist William James Blacklock, who is noted for his landscapes (see details enclosed). He lived in Cumwhitton House from 1818 until 1835 when he moved to London to pursue his career as a full time artist, exhibited at the Royal Academy and returned in 1849. He was later buried at St Marys Church grounds, Cumwhitton. Blacklock was "one of the few English artists who have made exceptional pictures out of the Lake District" and that "but for his early death Blacklock might well have matured into a landscape painter of great power" |
