18th Century wood engraving London 1792

The front of Wythenshawe Hall. Restored, with wooden plugs rather than nails, as well as rendering and later ‘improvements’ removed. Only open irregularly with council funding cuts but well worth the effort as an impressive example of a medieval hall. Allegedly there are secret tunnels underneath that connect to the even harder to access (i.e. never open) Baguley Hall.
