The Ferry Inn on Windermere

The Ferry Inn at Windermere explores the history of this pub and its many connections to characters and events.

With chapters on Harriet Martineau, Fletcher Christian and Thomas Blamire, among many others, this is a thorough and fascinating account stretching across 450 years of the Inn’s history. Ian L Muir also looks at the inn’s later incarnation as headquarters of the Freshwater Biological Association in 1950 and, most recently, its part conversion into luxury apartments.
