Title A name given to the resource Historic Homes of Yorkshire collection Description An account of the resource This Album contains images with notes on the Historic Homes of Yorkshire, a series of lectures first given to the Hebden Bridge Literary &amp; Scientific Society by Mr. George Hepworth around 1916. An architect by profession, in 1894 he was a founder member of the Brighouse Photographic Society, and became a much sort after photographic artist and lanternist (someone who operates a magic lantern). He achieved wide popularity with his book 'Brighouse, its Scenery and Antiquities'; as only a 100 copies were published it has become something of a collectors item. The lectures take the form of a guided tour of the properties, and the language of the original notes has been maintained.<br /><br />See <strong><a href="/exhibits/show/historic-homes-of-yorkshire" title="Link to exhibit of historic homes">Exhibit</a></strong> Subject The topic of the resource Historic homes of Yorkshire taken between 1900-1916 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource George Hepworth Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Hebden Bridge Literary & Scientific Society Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Pennine Horizons Digital Archive Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Photographs were taken in the early 1900s.

Title A name given to the resource Burton Agnes Hall, Archway in Hall - HLS05719 Subject The topic of the resource Architecture, Buildings, Furniture, Hall, Interior, Panelling Description An account of the resource Slide 14 - The paneling of the room is very beautiful, and most elaborately worked, and the round-headed arch adds to the appearance of richness. Such a place as Burton Agnes would scarcely be without its ghost, and the story as related in the neighbourhood, is so curious as to be worthy of a place here. It carried back the mind to the time when three sisters were co-heiresses of Burton Agnes and, according to the legend, appear to have been greatly concerned in the building of the place. One of them, who had a very special interest in picturesque mansion, made her sisters promise that, after her death, her head should be removed from body, and be preserved within the house she loved. The promise was made to pacify her, but when she was dead it was forgotten, and shortly thereafter, great disturbance in the Hall betokened the disquiet and return of her ghost to the scene of her mortal pilgrimage. In alarm, the coffin was then brought to the surface, and ghoulish hands carried the head of the deceased lady into the mansion, whereupon the disturbance ceased. Time passed on and one day a maid servant threw the mummified remain from the window, and it fell upon a passing wagon, which seemed rooted as by magic, to the road, and could not be moved until the skull was removed to its place. Again, one of the Boyntons who was skeptical of the lady's power, had the skull buried in the park, but the dreadful wailings began afresh, and ceased only when the skull had been restored. The place where the skull remains is pointed out to be in the wall behind one of the pictures. Such legends are attached to many old houses, but few places can be so appropriate for the ghostly footfall as the oak paneled chambers of Burton Agnes Hall.
