Welcome to Isel Hall, a 15th century Historic house in England's Lake District.
Isel Hall
The Lawson Crest, the sun supported by the arms of the law, is a motif which is much in evidence both outside and inside the hall.
Distant view of the estate showing a pair of the crests atop a stone wall.
Closer view of a wonderfully weathered crest.
Rooster crest on my everyday antique English silver flatware. I couldn't believe my luck when I found the set at a local flea market!
I have a 19th century antiquarian book entitled The Royal Book of Crests. It is full of engraved crests like the rooster above. I am always using them with my illustrated quotes.
Thanks for stopping by. See you on the internet! ♥Rosemary

Wow, Rosemary, what a find your flatware was! The Lawson crests are pretty great too - love the face of the last one you show. Also, really enjoyed the pages about the Met - like a storybook for grownups! Thanks and have a great week.
Places like Isel Hall make my imagination run wild. Just think of the history. Oh, if those walls could talk. I love your flatware!
fabulous crowing rooster!
