Title
Weston Hall, the Kitchen - HLS06045
Description
Slide 9 - The fine display of pewter plates in the kitchen at Weston Hall is very interesting. Mr H Speight, in Upper Wharfedale says, 'On the edge of Weston Moor, to the east of Whin Castle, is the old forest lodge of Dog Park, a seventeenth Century home of a branch of the Vavasours of Weston. There is a tradition that it was shelled during the Civil Wars by the soldiers of Cromwell, and before the owners had time to get their goods away. Some old pewter plates were long afterwards turned up in land adjoining, and are now at Weston Hall. I have not verified this, but there is no doubt some of the plates shown on the rack are those referred to as being found at the place named'.
