Gateway at Kildwick Hall

Tuesday, May 11, 2010

Picture of the gateway at Kildwick Hall in the village of the same name here in Yorkshire.

Notice the two stone lions above the gateway, lions feature in the family crest of the Currers who lived in the the Hall. The lions and the imposing gate were added by Henry Currer in the period of William III.

I was going to photograph the gateway and lions from directly in front of them, then I noticed that these lions were most definitely male. So I moved to a more oblique angle, the Leeds Daily Photo is family viewing.
