GRETA HALL, a residence adjacent to the NW end of Keswick, in Cumberland; on a gentle rising ground, about 200 yards from the Derwent river on the way to Portinscale. It was inhabited by the poet Southey, - who collected a great library in it, and said, -" Here I possess the gathered treasures of time, the harvest of so many generations laid up in garners; and when I go to the window, there is the lake, and the circle of mountains, and the illimitable sky. "
(John Marius Wilson, Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales (1870-72))
