==Eden Hall== thumb|upright=1.6|Eden Hall in 1869; since demolished The original Eden Hall was extended in the 1700s from materials salvaged from the demolition of Hartley Castle, the ancestral home of the Musgrave family. It was rebuilt in 1821 employing the architect Sir Robert Smirke and rebuilt again in white stone in an Italianate style in the late 1860s. The hall was sold in the early 1900s, when the Musgrave family moved to London, and was demolished in 1934, leaving its 19th-century courtyard of stables and coach houses which has been divided into seven properties retaining some stables.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://lh.matthewbeckett.com/houses/lh_cumbria_edenhall.html |title=Lost Heritage- Eden Hall |accessdate=11 September 2013 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131202191150/http://lh.matthewbeckett.com/houses/lh_cumbria_edenhall.html |archivedate=2 December 2013 }}</ref><ref>{{NHLE|num=1084351|accessdate=17 March 2015}}</ref>
The hall was noteworthy as the home of the Luck of Edenhall, an enamel and gilt glass beaker from the 14th century, once owned by the Musgrave family and currently in pristine condition. While reputedly stolen from the fairies during its history, it is actually an Islamic piece dating from the 14th century. It is now in the Victoria and Albert Museum in west London.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O3311/the-luck-of-edenhall-beaker-and-case-unknown/|title=The Luck of Edenhall in the Victoria and Albert Museum |publisher=Victoria and Albert Museum |date=2012-05-08 |accessdate=8 September 2019}}</ref>
