There is a rather long plaque attached to one of the interior roof beams and is inscribed as follows:
| Lady Elizabeth
Lady Elizabeth and Randolph Bruce were married on January 6, 1914 at Upton Pynes, Devonshire, England. On returning to the Windermere valley, they lived on a houseboat called the "Dorothy M" which was anchored on this shore while their new home was being built. They called their new home Pynelogs. Lady Elizabeth died unexpectedly before their home was completed. Randolph Bruce stayed in the home until 1937, at which time he gave the building to the community for a hospital and it has continued to be called Pynelogs. These grounds were part of Bruce’s garden.
