In her biography, Mary Moorman writes about W. Wordsworth's first childhood home: "It is by far the most stately and pretentious house in that little town [of Cockermouth] to this day, and none of the Wordsworth children ever again lived in so fine a mansion, except Christopher who inhabited the Master's Lodge at Trinity College, Cambridge . . ."
