Hutton in the Forest is a Grade I listed country house near the village of Skelton in the historic county of Cumberland, which now forms part of the modern county of Cumbria, England. It belonged to the Fletcher-Vane family from 1605 until 1931 when it became the property of the Barons Inglewood who were distant relatives of the Fletcher-Vane family. Hutton-in-the-Forest was originally a medieval stronghold and the Pele tower survives. Succeeding generations have altered and added to the house and both the outside and inside show a wide range of decorative styles from the seventeenth century to the present day. The gallery, a rare feature in the North of England, dates from the 1630s and contains early furniture and portraits. The hall, built in 1680, is dominated by the Cupid Staircase, which leads to a suite of mid-18th century rooms, including the Cupid Room. The drawing room dates from about 1830, the library from 1870, and Lady Darlington's Room is decorated in the Arts and Crafts style. The Walled Garden, built in the 1730s, houses a large collection of herbaceous plants. The terraces were originally laid out in the 17th century. The woodland walk contains a 17th-century dovecote which unusually still contains the potence, an internal rotatable ladder. The 1st Lord Inglewood added a number of new tree species to the grounds and the tree trail guide now lists seventy within the arboretum.In a nearby field the small church of St James is located, recorded as far back as 1291 as the Church in the Green Field. The architect Anthony Salvin in Victorian times carried out extensive renovations. A fragment of a Norman Cross is preserved within the church, and many memorials act as reminders of the influence of the Fletchers and Vanes over the centuries.The house is open to the public on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays from April to October.

Penrith was a rural district within the administrative county of Cumberland, England that existed from 1894 to 1974 with slight boundary changes in 1934. The district largely corresponded to the ancient Leath Ward of Cumberland but excluding the parishes of Penrith and Alston with Garrigill. The area had been a rural sanitary district prior to the Local Government Act 1894. Penrith itself was covered by Penrith Urban District, which the Rural District surrounded on the west, north and east. The council was based at offices known as Mansion House in Penrith now used by its successor authority Eden District Council. Within the district's boundaries was a small part of the Lake District National Park. The district was abolished by the Local Government Act 1972 on 1 April 1974, being merged with other districts to form the Eden district. At its demise in 1974 the district was divided into the civil parishes of: Ainstable Castle Sowerby Catterlen (including Newton Reigny) Culgaith (including Kirkland, Skirwirth and Blencarn) Dacre Glassonby (including Gamblesby) Great Salkeld Greystoke Hesket (formerly Hesket-in-the-Forest and Plumpton parishes) Hunsonby (formerly Hunsonby & Winskill and Little Salkeld parishes) Hutton Kirkoswald (formerly the parishes of Kirkoswald, Staffield and Renwick) Langwathby (including Edenhall) Lazonby Matterdale Mungrisdale Ousby Skelton ThrelkeldThe name Penrith Rural was resurrected as a new electoral division of Cumbria in the 1990s but does not include any of the area once administered by the Penrith RDC and does in fact cover an area of the ancient county of Westmorland.
