A Most Capital Farmhouse by Anne Britton

Old Hall, an unusual red-brick Tudor farmhouse in the tiny village of Yafforth, near Northallerton in North Yorkshire, has been a prominent and intriguing landmark for hundreds of years. Resembling a small piece of Hampton Court Palace that has escaped up the A1, it has survived the effects of war, fashion, disasters, legal battles and the weather. The story of Old Hall begins with the arrival of conquering soldiers after the Battle of Hastings. The ensuing 950 years see royal barristers, Elizabethan spies, a courtly writer, Roundheads, rogues, evacuees and countless generations of farming families pass through its doors. This book is a hymn to the passing of time and to all who have lived, loved, worked and died within these visibly battered, black-diamond walls.
