Description:The rear of Handsacre Hall viewed from the south west. A cow stands in the fenced paddock. At the time of this photograph Handsacre Hall was farmed by the Boycott and Harvey sisters. At this time the house appears to be in a good condition. It was demolished in 1973.
This picture is from an album of photographs taken by Thomas Harvey Boycott (1876-1949) who lived with his widowed mother, Fanny Maria, whose family had lived at Handsacre Hall as farmers, together with his unmarried aunt, Sarah Elizabeth Harvey. Harvey was a Clerk at Lichfield District Probate Court and a skilled amateur photographer. The album was a parting gift from Harvey and his mother to the Rev. R.E. Grice-Hutchinson (1885-1976) who was Curate of Armitage with Pipe Ridware 1909-1913.
