Statement of Interest

The two W bays appear to contain the original house. Named as Cabbage Hall on Wood?s map, and recently returned to that name (having been known as Briar Lodge). There is a sundial in the garden (on a concrete pedestal) inscribed James Tollis of York, 1673. The very pronounced thackstanes are something of a puzzle.
