II
House used as judge's lodgings. c1806 with 1830s or 1840s extensions. Cement-rendered walls on chamfered plinth (all dressings of painted stone); the extension with string course, eaves cornice and gabled pediment. Welsh slate roofs, rendered ridge chimney stacks. 2 storeys; the right 4 bays are part of the original house; the left 2 projecting bays are a later extension of higher roof line; extensive rear 2-storey extensions of numerous bays, making an overall L-shape. Original house has sash windows in stone surrounds, those on the upper floor with glazing bars; right canted 2-storey bay window has pilastered angles and a pent roof. The extension has a right glazed door and sidelights with glazing bars in a tripartite pilastered surround. Left bay projects even further with a pedimental gable; canted bay window; sash windows with glazing bars above this and door in stone surrounds. Rear right-angle extensions are of sandstone rubble; sash windows with glazing bars in stone surrounds. INTERIOR: panelled doors in panelled reveals; moulded plaster ceiling cornices in principal rooms and Adam-style marble fireplaces. Internal panelled shutters. Rear staircase under domed cupola has square wooden balusters and mahogony handrail; panelled soffit stair arch. HISTORY: there appears to have been no house on this site prior to 1806. It does not appear on Hodskinson & Donald's Map of Cumberland, surveyed 1770. It may be the house in Etterby Street referred to as being "pleasantly situated on the banks of the Eden" advertised to let in the Cumberland Pacquet 26 April 1796. Charles James Graham married Ann Clareson at Stanwix Church on 1 January 1806. The Carlisle Journal, 15 July 1809, refers to Mr Graham of "Anns Hill", so the house had been built by that date and would appear to be named in honour of his wife. CJ Graham died in 1847 and the house eventually passed to his neice (?) Fanny Eliza, who married in 1844, William Wordsworth (son of the poet), and who lived there from 1857-70. Various owners until purchased by Carlisle City Council in 1948, with the intended use as an old peoples home; never used for that purpose, it became the judge's lodgings. In the late 1980s acquired as part of the nearby Austin Friars School, with a clause ensuring its continued use as judge's lodgings. The "St" part of the house name first appeared in the 1858 Directory of Carlisle. (Carlisle Journal: 15 July 1809; Directory of Carlisle: 1858; Cumberland Pacquet: 26 April 1796).
