View of the front gardens and part of the terrace at Lotherton Hall, once the residence of the Gascoigne family. The statue is that of the Japanese pilgrim priest, Sho-haku, who, according to legend, travelled from town to town preaching. He is also known as the 'Peony Priest' because of his love for the cultivation of Peonies. The statue was originally part of the Radcliffe Collection and gifted to Leeds Corporation in the 1950s. It was moved here from Temple Newsam when Lotherton Hall opened to the public in 1968. However, other statues and artifacts in the house and grounds of Lotherton Hall were collected by the Gascoigne family during their travels abroad. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Lotherton Hall Gascoigne | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
