Footnotes
The oak suite of furniture was carved by an estate carpenter at Cannon Hall. Cawthorne, near Barnsley in West Yorkshire. For almost three hundred years Cannon Hall was owned by the Spencer-Stanhope family whose fortune was founded on the local iron industry. In 1951 the family sold the house and gardens to Barnsley Corporation and it remains a public gallery and park.
Prior to the sale of the house to Barnsley Corporation a large oak on the estate was felled and the oak suite of furniture carved with game birds and animals for the current owner's parents-in-law.
