Hi Nick,

My mum says another branch of our family, the Johnsons, from Crosby Ravensworth rented Tenter Row from the Dent family. Tenter Row was eventually bought by the Johnsons. It has now been sold on.

Yes, Richard Johnson lived there until quite recently and when he fully retired I think he sold up and bought a campavan and travelled round Europe.  His father Tommy Johnson (whom my father remembers well) and his father (Richard?) as you say rented Tenter Row from us and my grandfather sold it in 1959.  Tommy and his father were I think blacksmiths and smallholders.  It's a nice house from the outside (I've never been in) and was up for sale for a fairly chunky amount, fortunately I forget the tiny amount my grandfather sold it for....

Hi Nick,

Yes Richard Johnson is my mum's cousin. He now spends a lot of time in Spain maybe funded from the house sale!!! His dad, my great uncle Tom lived at Tenter Row along with his family and my great grandma Margaret Johnson nee Ellwood. Margaret's husband Richard Johnson was a blacksmith at the smithy which was the postoffice when I was a child and is now the CR archive. There were two more Johnson generations of blacksmiths at CR, Richard's father Thomas (who also was landlord of the Butcher's Arms) and his father Richard who I believe came from Hilton outside Appleby.

Uncle Tom's sister was my gran Mary Ellwood nee Johnson. She lived at Lyvennet. My grandparents had the house built.

Regards,

Gillian
