The farm building remained her private space once she was married, serving as a sanctuary and as a place to develop her stories and sketches. The Heelises lived at Castle Cottage which bordered Hill Top’s land. \r\n\r\nThis sepia drawing of the farmhouse sets it within the context of its surroundings, with the dry stone walls bordering the farmland visible in the foreground, and the mountainous backdrop of the Lake District terrain.\r\n\r\nBeatrix Potter (1866-1943) is one of the world's best-loved children's authors and illustrators. She wrote the majority of the twenty-three original Peter Rabbit books between 1901 and 1913. <i>The Tale of Peter Rabbit</i> (Frederick Warne, 1902) is her most famous and best-loved tale","physicalDescription":"Sepia ink drawing of Hill Top farmhouse. Porch and two trees are visible at the front of the house and four sets of windows on the main house and three windows on the wing on the left-hand side. Fields surrounded by stone walls in the foreground, with a road between these and the farmhouse. Trees and fells in the background.
