More about this scene

Although the 16th-century buildings have little altered, today's view is quite different, for the garden area is now planted with rose beds set amidst manicured lawns. The de Hoghtons have been here since the Conquest, and the house has had several noteworthy visitors in its time. James I famously knighted 'Sir Loin of Beef' here in 1617 and William Shakespeare performed in the hall.

Holy Trinity School
I am trying to find old photographs of my house which is the former school in Hoghton...Holy Trinity.The school was converted to a house in the early Eighties.I would love to see how the building looked as a school...perhaps if you were a pupil or lived in the village you might have some old snaps tucked away in a cupboard? I would really love to see them.Many thanks.

Pheasant Beating
I spent many a Saturday, walking the woods of the tower, beating sticks and making noise. After a good 8 hours trudging up and down slopes and in the mud, they feed us a bowl of bad stew and beer. There was always a joke about who got the only piece of meat. I was the lucky recipient once, had to eat it quick tho. I remember all the shooters in the next room having a meal and trying to catch a glimpse of the ...see more

Genealogy & Research Images

Despite over 20 years’ work on the archive, these scans have still not been individually checked and may prove to be damaged, faded, or not of sufficient quality to ever be offered in our full product range. However, if you would particularly like to buy one of these please get in touch quoting the Frith negative number,(s) the town name and size of print you would like to buy. On receipt of your enquiry our archivist will check the scan and advise you if the quality is good enough.

What is an Album?

An album is a way to save a selection of Frith photos, maps and memories that are of interest to you.

Creating an Album enables you to make short lists and then make a final selection from the album. In particular it makes ordering things like calendars much easier - simply create an Album of the 12 photos you like and then use the Album when placng your order - our order process will give you this option.

You can create as many Albums as you want, so perhaps make one for your hometown, where you live now, where your parents live now etc.
