In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Storrs like this:
STORRS, a hamlet in Undermilbeck township, Westmoreland; on Windermere lake, 2 miles SSW of Bowness. S. Hall was built by Sir J. Legard, Bart.; passed to the Boltous and the Staniforths; and was the place in 1825 of a famous meeting of Professor Wilson, Sir Walter Scott, Cauning, Southey, Wordsworth, and Lockhart.
