[Norman Moore, ‘Ainslie, Henry (1760–1834)’, rev.

In 1785 he married Agnes Ford of Monk Coniston (an estate near Consiton Water in the English Lake District)in the church at Colton. The couple owned Ford lodge at Grizedale and planted many thousands of larch trees in the valley and on the surrounding hills and moorland which effectively started Grizedale Forest.
