Abstract:		 Following the submission of a planning application for the partial demolition of the derelict remains of Newton Manor, Gosforth, Seascale, Cumbria, Greenlane Archaeology was commissioned to carry out an archaeological building recording, as a result of a condition placed on the proposal by Copeland District Council. The building recording was carried out to English Heritage Level-2/3 type standards. Cartographic and other evidence demonstrates that Newton Manor, Gosforth was formerly known as Low Ling Bank or Low Lingbank, with buildings shown on the site as early as 1774. The property was presumably originally a farmhouse, and the earliest reference to it by its current name is in 1861, at which time it was home to Anthony Benn Steward, a local magistrate from Whitehaven, who had acquired the manor of Newton and Seascale in 1841. The property descended through his family for the rest of the 19th and much of the 20th century, although it is not clear how much they lived there during this time, and in 1933 it was available to let. The map evidence shows that the original house was rebuilt or replaced between the 1860s and 1890s with the current building. The building recording revealed little evidence for anything predating the construction of the present house in the late 19th century, although an earlier form of window in the rear elevation may suggest that some earlier fabric was reused. The main part of the present building was clearly built in a single phase and contains a number of Gothic Revival architectural details. Plans dated 1907, drawn up by Whitehaven-based architect G Nelson, exist for a large two storey extension, primarily comprising a billiard room, connected to the main block by a first floor walkway, which was ultimately added to the north-east side in 1908.
