Description: Shows a view of Langton Hall, near Candlesby, Lincolnshire. The hall stands high on a hill in the distance; at the foot of the hill a number of other buildings can be seen, and are noted by the artist, including the stables, and the Lodge of the Old Hall. The artist's perspective is from the nearby vilage of Aswardby. Langton Hall was destroyed by fire first in 1405. It was rebuilt in the 1550s. The Elizabethan manor lasted until about 1817 when it too was destroyed by fire. Bennet Rothes Langton erected a new Langton Hall in 1866-67. It was built of brick with stone dressings in the Elizabethan style and stood a little north of the village. It was demolished around 1960 Inscriptions: Verso - bottom centre - High life + low life this sketch is called!!
