Description: | Undated,
Howley Hall was probably constructed between 1585 and 1590 by Sir John Savile. The estate passed to his son, Sir Thomas Savile who was created the first Earl of Sussex. It was beseiged for its stores by the Cavalier commander, the Duke of Newcastle before the Battle of Adwalton Moor. In 1730 when owned by the Earl of Cardigan it became additional to his requirements and the interior fittings sold and the house destroyed with gunpowder. Most of the stones were removed for local building. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Howley Hall | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
