Description: | Undated. Built of local stone, thought to have been built late 16th, early 17th century by the Craven family near to the Horsforth corn mill. In 1627 the Cravens sold their interests in Horsforth to Francis Layton of Rawdon, who in turn sold to Walter Stanhope. In 1856 Walter Stanhope gave his Grandson Edward Stanhope the house and mill. By the early 18th century the house had been passed to the parish to be used as a workhouse. It accomodated people from Horsforth and Rawdon. It was used in the 19th century as a methodist chapel. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Troy Hill Workhouse | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
