Description: | A fine detailed sketch with a beautiful sky. The hall is the second on the site, it is unique in Cambridgeshire. The original hall was burnt down by supporters of Queen Mary a few days before she was proclaimed queen. Queen Mary rewarded the Huddlestons by giving then the stone of Cambridge Castle to re-build the hall. It is the only Elizabethan mansion in the county built of clunch [limestone that lies below chalk or stiff-clay] and it has the only surviving courtyard house. | Subjects: | Stately Homes Traditional architecture Watercolour Architecture Country Houses Vernacular buildings | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Author/Creator: Dryden, Henry E L | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=3111... | Go to resource |
