The cover shows part of Winstanley’s engraving of Rushton Hall and its grounds in 1750. At the bottom left is St. Peter’s church, demolished in 1790 (see Clemence Tresham of Rushton and Syon, in this issue). Behind it is the servants’ hall and kitchen adjoining the great house of the Tresham family. The horse on the right was a celebrated steeplechaser in its day. The dogs were two noted hounds which were buried in the wilderness at Rushton.
