Summary

Description
English: View of Newland Hall estate, built roughly 1740 by the Silvester family and replacing a modest farmhouse. Containing 54 rooms, the Hall was vacated in the latter half of the 19th century. (The building adjacent on the right was the large stable block, which survives today in ruinous condition.) The Hall was demolished in 1917. This photograph showing an occupied Newland House is likely circa 1865-1875. The Newland Estate is situated in the valley of the River Calder between Altofts and Stanley Ferry, and is one of the rare estates in the area which can be traced back through documents for 900 years. Newland with Woodhouse Moor is a civil parish of the City of Wakefield in West Yorkshire. It was formerly the site of a preceptory of the Knights Hospitaller, also known as the Knights of St John.
