What is recorded here

This blue commemorative plaque records: Howden Hall. Behind this impressive early 18th Century wall is Howden Hall which was built as ‘the house of a small manor called Paradise’. Whilst the house is mainly Georgian, it may have its origins in the 17th Century. The Worsop family lived here for 147 years and added many rooms and features including rare panelling in the dining room. In 1864 the Yorkshire Show was held on the ground behind the house and circa 1900 a grand ballroom was added. Recorded plaque organisation: Howden Civic Society, Supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
