Memories of the cottage 10/03/2024

Memories of the cottage In July 2024, we were lucky enough to be able to record some short oral histories with local Calverley resident, Sharon Gott. Sharon’s grandparents were long standing tenants at Calverley Old Hall, living in one of the cottages created within the section of the building now known as ‘The Parlour Block’, which we now know houses one of the most important Tudor painted schemes in the UK. Sharon’s grandmother, Mrs Hilda Bartle, was one of the last to vacate the building in the early 2000s, and Sharon has fond memories of her grandparents’ time at Calverley Old Hall. Here, Sharon shares her earliest memories of her grandmother’s cottage, which she describes as a family hub. /episode/index/show/landmarktrust/id/33311352
