MenuAcorn Bank House, Westmorland
Acorn Bank House is a house in Westmorland. The first owners were the Knights Templar in 1228, from whom the nearby village of Temple Sowerby got its name. After the suppression of the Templars, the manor passed to the Knights of the Hospital of St John, who held it from 1323 until the Dissolution of the Monasteries by Henry VIII. In 1543, Acorn Bank was acquired by Thomas Dalston and remained in the hands of his descendants right up until the 1930s. There is a comprehensive herb collection; traditional fruit orchards, and a partially restored watermill. It is within the council area of Westmorland and Furness.
