History

Hill Top is a 17th-century house in Near Sawrey near Hawkshead, in the English county of Cumbria - historically in Lancashire. It is an example of Lakeland vernacular architecture with random stone walls and slate roof. The house was once the home of children's author and illustrator Beatrix Potter who left it to the National Trust. It is a Grade II* listed building. It is open to the public as a writer's house museum, shown as Beatrix Potter herself would have known it.
