Title
Ledston Hall - HLS05835
Description
Slide 11: The Terraces are a feature of the place, and were constructed at an enormous cost by Sir John Lewis. He adorned them with a profusion of statuary of which a few specimens still remain.
Sir John Lewis was raised to the Baronetcy in 1660 and died in 1671. He erected and endowed an hospital at Ledsham for the maintenance of ten aged poor people, who by his will are required religiously to observe the Sabbath day, and to be present at Church in time for Divine Service and sermon.
Lady Elizabeth Hastings added Σ10 per annum for the better support of St. John Baptist's Hospital founded by her grandfather.
