The fishing rights on this part of the River Eden are mentioned as belonging to
the city of Carlisle in medieval charters and it seems this house was built to
protect these rights. There was an annual meeting of the Corporation at King
Garth until the early C20. County Record Office has the bricklayers bills of
28 October 1733, for the building of a new brick house at the Fishery at King's
Garth. House derelict and unoccupied at time of survey. Lean-to boat shed
behind stables is of no interest.
