More about this scene
Slater's Directory of 1876 lists this lovely Tudor mansion as Ferns Hall; it was supposed to date from 1557, but the earliest visible datestone over the porch is of 1696. The inscription above the door reads 'George Ashworth Cobham, great-grandson of George and Susanah Ashworth de Fearns and Catherine his wife ended this wing in the year 1830 on the site of that part of the old Mansion House which was built in the year 1557'. The mansion contained sixteen rooms and cellars, and nine bells for summoning servants hung near the kitchen. Later it became Fearns Hall Farmhouse, and later still it was divided into two residences. It was renovated in 1975.
