My best guess would be Esthwaite, not much more than a hefty stones-throw from where I'm sitting right now.

Mike

I'd go with Esthwaite too. Mike, you are plainly not much more than a stone's throw from me as well then! ;D

Well we'd better be careful where we throw stones then!

Lots more information here (pages 2-4):

Excellent. The remains of the hall are in woodland now. If this place has some family significance for you, would you like me to visit the site and send you a photo?

Thanks, Mike.  I'm not sure that I'm that interested in the Caruses except very indirectly.  They connected with my family in the late 1400s, early 1500s.

Hi BridgetM
the map on the link from mike above has a place called Carus Hill on it which is near new hall at Staveley. Asthwaite is also mentioned in the book"Records of Kentdale" by W Farrer.The Carus family are also mentioned in "a lakeland valley through time" by SDHS as living at Asthwaite (old hall)
Carus Green at Kendal is probably about 4 miles away from Asthwaite
