View of Low Hall in Gill Lane, a stone-built,ivy-clad residence owned by the notable Yeadon family, the Marshalls. It is thought that the porch was added at a later date rather than being part of the original building, and that it came from Esholt Priory after the dissolution, although this is not a certainty. (From 'A History of the Ancient Parish of Guiseley' by 19th century local historian, Philemon Slater.) The Marshalls acquired much of their land after the dissolution of the monasteries. Interestingly, the Marshalls, flax spinners of Holbeck, are descended from this Yeadon branch. By 1672 the Yeadon Marshalls owned 8 houses and a total of 14 hearths. Low Hall passed into the Barwick family, descendants of the Marshalls. In 1876, the owner, possibly at the time of this photograph, John Marshall Barwick went to great lengths to have Low Hall restored and enlarged. He was a solicitor. In the image two children, a boy and girl, are visible standing outside the house. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Low Hall Marshall Barwick.
