Cannon
Hall was designed by John Carr of York and is set in over 70 acres
of historic parkland which includes beautiful formal gardens providing
a perfect setting for picnics or relaxing strolls.
For
over 200 years Cannon Hall was home to the Spencer-Stanhope family.
The
Hall is now a museum with collections of fine furniture, Old Master
paintings, stunning glassware and colourful pottery, some of which
are displayed in period settings such as the Victorian Parlour.
It
also houses ‘Charge’, the Regimental Museum of the 13th/18th
Hussars (Queen Mary's Own), for those interested in military history.
Refurbished
with assistance from the Heritage Lottery Fund, it illustrates the
part played by the Regiment in many major battles such as the Charge
of the Light Brigade and includes memorabilia dedicated to Lord
Baden Powell.
