Edmundson House was built in 1560, with date stones of 1653 and 1774 also in situ. It is believed to have started life in the 16th Century as a family home at the centre of village life, sited directly opposite St Wilfrid's, a Norman Church also known colloquially as the Cathedral of the Lune valley. It probably remained a family house for a great part of its history until in more recent times becoming a cottage maternity hospital. Later in life it was transformed into a Public House, firstly the Horse and Groom, then the Strawberry Inn, until undergoing a curious metamorphosis into a Temperance Hall. Following this it was turned in to a number of self contained apartments and then it went full circle, once again becoming a family home when it was fully and sympathetically restored by the current vendors during a 3.1/2 year renovation from 2007 to 2010, breathing life back into the fabric of this old building and creating a wonderful and historic yet comfortable house.
