Description: | 8th March 2009.
View of Cad Beeston, a building which has its origins in the 15th century as a Manor House. In 1985 building work commenced on a 19th Century row of cottages, numbers 7, 8 and 9 Cad Beeston, off Temple Crescent. Number 8 can be seen here, to the left, and number 9 is on the right. As rubble and brick were removed the timber frame structure of the original manor house was exposed. Samples of the timber were analysed by the University of Nottingham and it was found to have come from trees felled between the summer of 1420 and the spring of 1421. Evidence of 15th century fires in the fireplace of the great hall in the form of soot deposits found in a small piece of plaster work high in the south wall. It has been left in situ. The kitchen, dairy, storerooms and living accommodation would have been sited where the adjoining houses now stand. It is thought very likely that the original owner of Cad Beeston Manor House was Peter De Rome who is documented as the owner in 1425. These properties are Grade II listed and are now occupied by offices. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | listed Temple Crescent Manor House Cad Beeston | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
