Edenhall

Edenhall, the ancient seat of the Musgravets in Cumberland, 4 miles NE. of Penrith. Here is still preserved the famous 'Luck of Edenhall,' an old painted glass goblet said to have been snatched from the fairies, on the safety of which the welfare of the house depends. It is supposed to have been a chalice, and its leather case bears the sacred monogram. Uhland's well-known ballad, Das Glück von Edenhall, has carried its fame beyond the British Islands.
