In the 1790's, the lakeside cottage was occupied by William Smith the internationally acclaimed 'Father of English Geology' who, through his work on the canal and the local mines, theorised that rocks were laid down in layers over periods of time. In 1815 he published the first geological map of Britain. His world-changing observations - now called rock strata, and accepted globally - were researched whilst living in this country cottage in a hamlet of half a dozen houses. Geologists come from round the world to worship at this simple shrine, which is now a family home.
