More about this scene
The Tudor tower house of North Lees Hall was one of seven halls built by Robert Eyre for his sons, all allegedly within sight of one another. North Lees, beneath the moors of Stanage Edge, is thought to be the model used by Charlotte Bronte for Thornfield Hall in her novel Jane Eyre.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
My grandfather, Albert Clements, was a coachman at Shendish Stables at the time of the 1911 Census and so may have been a work colleague of William Scott (as posted by Barbara Gill on this site)
My Uncle Charles and my father James Scott were born at Nether Hall in the early 1900's. The family was in service to Sir Henry Longman. The main family residence was Shendish House in Apsley,Hertfordshire where my grandfather,William Scott was coachman and head of the stables. All the horses owned by the Longmans were given a name beginning with L. My own grandaughter has a wooden rocking horse, named Larkspur, after my father's favourite mare.
