Footnotes
Provenance:
Burrow Hall, Burrow-with-Burrow, Lancashire.
Burrow Hall was built by Westby-Gill circa 1740 for Robert Fenwick, MP for Lancaster. On his death the estate was inherited by his nephew and further successive generations of relations who all changed their surname to Fenwick.
Several tables with spindle-ends were drawn in the Gillows Estimate Sketch Books from 1818. A closely related table was made for the Revd J. Blackburn, dated 29th July 1818 (344/100) for £2.6.2 3/4 (see illustration).
