| Description |
The home of a branch of the Going family, occupied by Robert Going in 1814 and in 1837. Robert died in 1838 and was succeeded by his son John. In 1840 the Ordnance Survey Name Books describe Cragg as "formerly the residence of John Going, it is now going to wreck". He still held Cragg at the time of Griffith's Valuation when the house was valued at £12+. John Going of Cregg House, Birdhill, owned 1,896 acres in the 1870s. A new house was built to the south west of the original house circa 1880 [R709 652]. John's son, Robert Edward Going, had succeeded to Traverston by the early 20th century. The second Cragg House is still extant. |
