Wordsworth's Office?[edit]

This article previously had a section under notable buildings referring to Wordsworth's house. This was rightly reworded, since the house is in Rydal not Ambleside - however, is the section that remains about his office really notable enough to remain included, particularly in this section? At the end of the day, it's fairly anonymous a stamp office. I've removed this section and reincorporated the small amount of information about Wordsworth's tenure into the history section... - HIGHFIELDS (TALK • UPLOADS) 19:41, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

CCHT external link[edit]

This link was added to the article after discussion on the WP Reliable Sources Noticeboard. See: WP:RSN exercise. No information from the CCHT link has been put into the body of the article in the form of citations because it has not yet been verified for 100% accuracy by the Victoria County History project for Cumbria. (This will take some years to do). Laplacemat (talk) 10:38, 09 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Waterhead[edit]
