Title
Howsham Hall, with Elm Tree - HLS05906
Description
Slide 1 - Howsham Hall is a fine specimen of Elizabethan Architecture. It is snugly ensconced above the brink of one of England's most beautiful rivers, and in one of the most charming portions of the Derwent Valley, sufficiently elevated to enjoy the scenery of the lovely vale.
Howsham is mentioned in Domesday and there called 'Husun' and was a place of high territorial dignity. When the dissolution of the abbeys came, the property was granted to the family of Eure - but it afterwards passed to Thomas Bamburgh, whose son William Bamburgh was knighted in 1603 on the accession of James 1. He was raised to the baronetcy in 1619 and lived till 1623.
