My Routledge ancestors in 1871 were living at Windy Hall and ten years earlier were at Matson's Ground. Do these still exist? Was Windy Hall a building of any significance?
thanks
David

Thanks Andrea,
I had tried various other combinations in Google with no effect. I haven't found a successful combination for Matson's Ground yet.
Most of the responses for Windy Hall are of course for a hotel in Cumbria which can't be the right place. The will is interesting but proves nothing about about the current day. However it looks worth pursuing.

Hi David
have a look at this site:
http://216.239.59.104/search?q=cache:id6x8-6BfVEJ:www.stevebulman.f9.co.uk/cumbria/windermere.html+undermillbeck&hl=en
refers to "Matson-Grand" a hamlet in Undermillbeck that the footnotes think should be "Matson Ground". Couldn't resist googling it (without Undermillback) - you only get a few responses but included are a few that seem to indicate that it was called both Matson Grand and Ground.
Roly Grigg's online place index for the 1851 lists a "Matsons" as being part of the transcription for Undermillbeck North, Undermillbeck South & Crook. http://homepages.tesco.net/~rolygrigg/PlacesLtoM.htm. The name index is available for this area on-line at http://homepages.tesco.net/~rolygrigg/2442Fols139-164SurnamesOnl.html and lists some Routledges. You can get the full transcript from http://www.cumbriafhs.com/.
Also worth typing in "Matson Grand" into Streetmap.co.uk or try this link http://www.streetmap.co.uk/etc_etc_.... Looks like it still exists and is today a farm http://www.matsongroundorganic.co.uk/.
Windy Hall does also seem to still be in existence and sometimes opens its gardens to the public: http://www.roomcheck.co.uk/scripts/ea_details.asp?dc=cu&wc=CU&venue=5060209 http://www.thewestmorlandgazette.co.uk/leisure/homesandgardens/display.var.599444.0.visiting_other_gardens.php. Typing Windy Hall into streetmap gets you nothing much - but type in Crook Road, select the Windermere one and you get confirmation this is also in Undermillbeck area.
Finally have a look at this site http://www.old-maps.co.uk/ - type in matson ground into the address search field and you can then selct the address and view a map from the area for 1862. You can zoom about a bit as well but couldn't find Windy Hall - maybe it was built after 1863?
