Centuries ago, the Hall came into possession of three sisters, co-heiresses of Sir Henry Griffith. One day, the youngest, Anne, when going to visit the St. Quintins, of Harpham, was attacked by two Wold Rangers, roving mendicants, who struck her with a cudgel and stole her heirloom ring.
[...] Formerly the skull was kept on a table in the Great Saloon, but was later built in behind a carved screen from Barmston.
