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 Constable, the Library or Long Gallery - HLS05742 Subject The topic of the resource Buildings, Chandelier, Hall, Interior Description An account of the resource Slide 11 - The Library, or what is now termed the Long Gallery, is entered from the grand staircase by folding doors. It is a fine apartment extending nearly the whole length of the west front. There are three window recesses of ample size, and these form cosy recesses for reading purposes. The walls are panelled throughout with English oak, and the bookcases contain a vast number of books of priceless value, many of which are family heirlooms and not to be disposed of. These books are carefully catalogued in MS and are bound in a number of volumes. The really beautiful relief of the cornice with its vines, mermaids and sea monsters, is imitated from the Bodleian building in Oxford. Two tables (shown in the view) with the tops of each being a solid slab of marble, supported by winged and gilded sphinx carved in solid wood. Each table weighs half a ton. The table in front is a fine piece of carved oak work, surmounted with a bronze equestrian statue. Tall vases of Florentine alabaster stand upon tables, and here are some high-backed English chairs of late 17th and early 18th century, all richly gilded.
