Woodsome Hall, Kirkburton, West Yorkshire

Extremely fine hall house, with additions, now a golf club house. It was built in stages for four generations of the Kaye family, Arthur, John I, Robert and John II between the early 16th century and the mid 17th century. The terrace was laid out in the mid 18th century, by Lancelot Capability Brown for the Legge family. Records suggest an earlier house on the site dating back to 1236 and show that the Kaye family lived on this site from 1378 to 1726.
