Description

An album of 79 pages containing 85 black and white photographs and one measured drawing. The majority of leaves have photographs on one side only but in three cases there are prints on both sides of the leaves. Each side with a photograph attached has been numbered as a page.

The house is referred to interchangeably as Minster Lovell Manor or Hall. It is listed as the Manor but English Heritage and most tourist guides refer to it as the Hall thus both are given.

The majority of the album is made up of general and detail views of the ruins of the Hall, there are series from the 1930s before preservation and consolidation and from 1948 after this work was completed. There are also twelve prints at the back of the album showing the dovecote and four prints showing a doorway between the former outer court of the hall and St Kenelms churchyard.

In the front of the album is a plan of the hall and photographs of a reconstruction drawing and a eighteenth century print of the Hall before it was made ruinous.
