In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Brantwood like this:
BRANTWOOD, a villa, with charming grounds, on the E side of Coniston water, in Lancashire. A seat in the grounds was the poet Wordsworth's favourite point for viewing the lake; and bears the name of Wordsworth's seat.
