Title
Woodsome Hall, the Clock in the Hall - HLS06058
Description
Slide 8 - To the right of the fireplace is a fine old clock in oak case, bearing the date1652, and surrounded with the plume and coronet forming the crest of the Legge family.
But the greatest curiosities are the ancient picture boards hung on diminutive cranes in the gallery, so as to admit of their being turned round to examine either side. These are painted on both sides, and represent portraits of different members of the Kaye family and also the armorial bearings of the families of Yorkshire akin to the Kayes. One of these painted boards is shown in the photograph.
