Description

This is a photocopy Hope printed that contains several exterior shots of the ruined Wycoller Hall. All are placed alongside each other to form a bigger picture. All together the scene shown is of one side of to the exterior of Wycoller Hall. In more than one place stone has crumbled due to age and the elements. The estate itself dates back to the late 16th century and was built on the spot of a previous home owned by a Piers Hartley. The previous home had been occupied in 1507. The Cunliffes came into possession of the newer home after Nicholas Cunliffe married Elizabeth Hartley in 1611. The Cunliffes settled entirely at Wycoller in the 1720s after their previous ancestral home had been lost due to debts. Much of the hall survived well into the late 1800s before it started to truly crumble to ruins.
