In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Sizergh like this:
SIZERGH-FELL-SIDE, a hamlet in Heversham parish, Westmoreland; 3½ miles S by W of Kendal. S. Hall is the seat of the Stricklands; was originally a baronial fortalice; retains some portion of its old strong towers, conjoined with modern additions; presents a castellated, irregular, picturesque appearance; contains a room said to have been once occupied by Queen Catherine Parr; and stands in extensive well-wooded grounds.
