North Lodge, Allonby, Cumbria, England UK
At the north end of Allonby village, is North Lodge, built about 1840 by Thomas Richardson of Darlington. The central pavilion provided him with a summer home. At each side of this were three smaller cottages which were occupied, rent free, by local widows or spinsters each of whom also received a yearly pension of £5. The building is still owned by The Society of Friends and used as low-cost housing. A small burial ground is attached.
