Distance view of the Hall over the lake. 1910

Trentham Hall late the princely seat of the Duke of Sutherland, 
is situated in the vicinity of the pretty little village of Trentham. 
It is a handsome building, in the Italian style of architecture, 
from the centre of which rises a campanile tower 100 feet high. 
Despite its somewhat modern appearance the Hall 
is in reality a very old place, its history dating back as an Elizabethan mansion, 
an Augustinian priory of the reign of Henry I., 
and a nunnery of King Alfred's time.
