the ancient mansion. The style of grouping is sim- 

 ilar to that observed on the Chinese paper, and the 

 colouring equally brilliant. Some of the birds have 

 been delicately finished, and the gold and colours, 

 especially the scarlet, still remain fresh and vivid. 

 At the extremity of the western wing, and on the 

 ground floor, is a small room, the ceiling of which 

 is divided into compartments, on which are embla- 

 zoned the arms of the earls of Carlisle and viscounts 

 Prestons, with their respective motto's affixed to 

 each ; " Volo sed non valeo," and " Reason con- 

 tents mee;" the former of the Howards, the latter 

 of the Grahames. Adjoining the hall on the north, 

 there was formerly an old family chapel, which 

 was pulled down within the last few years. 



In modern times the hall at Nunnington, was for 

 a period of more than 40 years the residence, and 

 scene of the hospitality of the late Edward Cleaver, 

 Esq. ; who acted as agent to the Graham family, 

 and was himself a great practical and experimental 

 farmer, holding at one time nearly 1,000 acres in 

 his own hand. In 1813, it became the residence of 

 Edward Darvall, Esq.; but is now in the occupation 

 of Mr. Wm Harrison, as a larm house. 



Near the hospitals, and on the right of the York 

 road leading from the bridge, stands Nunnington 

 lodge, a modern built mansion; commanding a 

 beautiful prospect in the direction of Helmsley and 

 Kirkby-Moorside, and is the residence of Edward 

 Cleaver, Jun. Esq.
