Summary

Description
English: Winster Hall in Main Street Described by Pevsner as

"An Early Georgian 5-bay stone house with giant pilasters to single out the centre bay, and top balustrade; the doorway with Doric half-columns and a pediment." It was originally built for Francis Moore, a mine-owner, in 1628 and embellished a century later. Subsequently, legend has it, the daughter of the house fell in love with a servant and the unhappy pair leapt from the parapet to their deaths. The ghost of a `White Lady' is said still to haunt the spot where they fell.

Later it became the home, between 1867 and 1880, of historian and antiquary Llewelyn Jewitt, publisher and main author of `The Reliquary'.
