More about this scene
King Edward I transferred the manor of Letchworth to the Knights Templar. When the order was dissolved in 1312, it passed to the Knights Hospitallers and eventually to the Lytton family of Knebworth. Some of the fabric of Letchworth Hall dates from the late 1400s, but most is the result of subsequent restorations, particularly that of the early 1700s. In 1796, Letchworth Hall was bought by John Williamson, a baker from Baldock. It was eventually purchased by the Garden City Pioneer Company in 1903, and opened as a hotel in 1904. A licence to sell alcohol was granted in 1935, enraging many of the Garden City's teetotal inhabitants.
