Oakworth Hall

I. often pass this historic hall and the engraved stone plaque. I was told that there are photos and a transcription of the plaque on the web, unfortunately I am having difficulty finding it and time is short this evening.

The photo looks overexposed at the top -perhaps because I was in the middle of a 6 mile run and the lens may have misted over!

I have now found a web site which explains the stone plaque - looks like there are 2 more to find, I know where one is, so have another to find.....

The Plaques states...
