History
[edit]Augill Castle was built in 1841, set on a fifty-four acre estate, by John Bagot Pearson of Kirkby Lonsdale.[1][2] In 1875, the Rev. Robert Clayton Heslop had a mortgage interest on the premise of founding a preparatory school, but he fell into bankruptcy. In 1878, the castle was sold to Mr. Collins of London.[1] In 1888, the castle was owned by lawyer and writer John Indermaur.[1] In 1892 it was sold at auction to J.H. Jackson of Culgaith.[1]
It is grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England.[2]
