Losh Mausoleum The mausoleum is a primitive-looking, flat-roofed building constructed from large roughly hewn blocks of stone with a copper-covered oak door. Inside there is a seated marble figure of Katherine, taken from a sketch which Sara made when the sisters were in Naples in 1817, and carved by a local sculptor, David Dunbar. Architect(s) Sara Losh Listing Grade II (England and Wales) Year Created 1835 History The Loshes were an old Cumbrian family who belonged to a free-thinking circle of lawyers, manufacturers and public servants. Sara Losh (1785-1853) and her sister Katherine grew up at the family home of Woodside in Wreay where Wordsworth and Southey were occasional visitors. Sara was very clever; a fine linguist (she spoke fluent French and Italian besides reading Greek and Latin), a great lover of art and architecture and an exceptionally gifted designer in her own right. Neither she nor Katherine ever married, and when the latter died in 1835 Sara was said to be ‘almost inconsolable’. Besides building the mausoleum in memory of her sister, she designed the church, memorial obelisk and mortuary chapel at Wreay. One of the most striking things about the decoration of her buildings is the combination of fossil forms with Egyptian, Christian and Jewish motifs; another is the way in which the bold stylization of the carving prefigures that of the Arts and Crafts Movement some fifty years later.

Yews in Cumbria Graham Wilkinson 1996/7
Yews in Cumbria Graham Wilkinson 1996/7 Borrowdale Yews. (GR: 235125 sheet 89) 29/10/1997 A. Female. 22' 4" at 3', 23' 7" at base, 21' 6" at 4'. A splendid, huge, gnarled and obviously ancient D tree. Hollow from base to crown, branching N 200' properly from 10-12 feet, the larger branch also hollow. A lower branch on s side is also hollowing. stile B. Female. 14' 10" at 3' and base, 16' 4" at 4'. An old tree with marked hollowing. Branching at 7', A 15' C beck with s branch grounding. 45' C. Female. 12' 11" at 3', 14' 3" at base, 12' at 4'. R. Derwent An impressive, gnarled old tree, the east trunk B having fallen away, it remains, hollow and dead. The measure then, does not do justice to the tree, the dead trunk being at least of equal girth to the living one. A measure taken when intact would have been similar to that of tree A. (Which would still be the most impressive of the three.) Hollowing in the remaining trunk but to a lesser extent than its companion trees. D. Female. 10' 9" at base. A gnarled, mature tree, branching from the base, one branch hanging over the river. No hollowing. Notes: Wordsworth mentioned the Borrowdale Yews in a poem: "Those fraternal four of Borrowdale, Joined in one solemn and capacious grove; Huge trunks! and each particular trunk a growth of intertwisted fibres serpentine Up-coiling and inveterately convolved... To lie, and listen to the mountain flood Murmuring from Glaramara's inmost caves." There is some confusion as to which trees he was refering to.
