- found: Work cat.: Isel Hall, 198-:intro (Despite many dramatic architectural changes Isel Hall has stood for nearly 1,000 years on the same spot. Standing in a steep rise above the winding River Derwent and two miles below Bassenthwaite Lake, Isel Hall is a spectacular building. Part of a chain of Border forts, its most striking feature is the Pele Tower which, together with the Great Hall, is one of the oldest parts of the house.)
- found: Isel Hall on AboutBritain WWW Site, 18 Feb. 2005:Isel Hall Page (Continuously inhabited since Norman times it passed from its original occupiers, the Engane family, their heirs and successors by family connections to the present owner. In Elizabethan times they were the Leighs and from 1573-1986 the Lawson family inherited. The last male heir of that family, Sir Wilfred Lawson, died in 1936 when it passed to his nephew, Hilton, and then to Hilton's cousin Mrs. Margaret Austen Leigh, who died in 1986 and left it to the present owner.)
