    By popular request, this is a repeat of the successful events held in the Womersley Courtyard in 2020 and 2021, since updated.

    The talk relates primarily to the period 1798-1921, when the Womersley estate was under the ownership of the Harvey Hawke family – the 3rd and 4th Barons Hawke and Cassandra, Countess of Rosse.

    By permission of the Earl and Countess of Rosse, the presentation includes previously unseen photographs from their private family collection.
