The National Trust is recruiting for an oral history project in Penrith.

The plan focuses on Crowdundle Beck, which runs through Acorn Bank grounds and powers the historic watermill.

Acorn Bank Watermill Trust cares for the watermill.

The organisation is seeking individuals and community groups to share their stories about Crowdundle Beck, the nearby River Eden, and the surrounding area.

These stories will form the basis of a new oral history installation for Acorn Bank visitors.

A spokesperson said: "We are looking for individuals and community groups who are willing to share their stories of Crowdundle Beck, nearby River Eden, and the surrounding area to help us create a living record of the connections between people and their local waterways.

"These will form the core of a new oral history installation to share with visitors to Acorn Bank."

This project is funded by the Government's Species Survival Fund.

The fund was developed by Defra and its Arms-Length Bodies.

It is being delivered by The National Lottery Heritage Fund in partnership with Natural England and the Environment Agency.
