The Development of Calverley Old Hall

A YVBSG 'Third Thursday Talk' by Caroline Stanford of the Landmark Trust on 16 February 2023.
Calverley Old House in West Yorkshire was the family seat of the Calverley family from c1150 to 1750, after which it was colonised as cottages and declined in status. Today it presents as a much evolved grouping that contains embedded fabric from its earliest days. Owned since the 1980s by the Landmark Trust, it is now the subject of a major restoration project to give the whole site a financially sustainable future. This talk provides an overview of the latest interpretation of the construction phases of Calverley Old Hall within their historical context, including the discovery of sixteenth century wall paintings and a remarkable number of concealed deposits.
