Long Gone !

Belfield Hall was last tenanted, August 18th 1891.
The family of Belfield appears in deeds as early as 1278 with Adam de Belfield, in 1523 holding ancestral estates.
This quotation appeared on a sundial at the hall :

' A.B. 1612. UT. HORA.PRETERITA. SIC. FUGIT. VITA. '
As the hour that is past, so doth life fly.
