( these listed paintings at Byram Hall being the collection of the Ramsden family give an excellent line of provenance to this once important art collection) Now demolished, Byram Hall in Ferrybridge, near Wakefield, was a sixteenth-century house, which was amended in the seventeenth century. Its disparate styles were subsequently tied together by an austere classical dress provided by John Carr of York (1723-1807), who can be firmly placed there in 1762. Carr also built Byram’s surviving stables. Byram Hall had a three-storey entrance front with paired Windows and two-storey projecting wings, with the fifteen-bay west wing having a pair of central canted bays. Robert Adam was summoned to make internal alterations around 1780.Byram was the oldest seat of the Ramsden family, who were large-scale landowners in South Yorkshire, particularly in the township of Huddersfield, whose development they vigorously promoted, commissioning, in Adam’s lifetime, the Huddersfield Cloth Hall (1766) and the Sir John Ramsden Canal (1780). As the Ramsdens practically owned Huddersfield, the fortunes of patron and city were conjoined. The burgeoning wool textile industry, which drove Huddersfield’s boom in the second half of the eighteenth century, and the simultaneous rise in the Ramsden rental, enabled Sir John Ramsden, 4th Baronet (1755-1839), to turn his mind and means towards the remodelling of Byram Hall and the services of Robert Adam.Although never a politician of significance, Sir John Ramsden had a parliamentary career as a Rockingham Whig, benefitting from a familial connection with the Prime Minister. He served as a member of the House of Commons for Grampound in Cornwall (1780-1784) during the second brief term of Lord Rockingham (1730-1782).Sir John Ramsden engaged Adam for interior work alone in about 1780. Graphic evidence within the Adam drawings collection includes his designs for furniture and interior decoration encompassing the hall, the breakfast room, the dining room, the adjacent passage to the drawing room, the drawing room and the library, to which he made his most extensive alterations. It is likely that the modish Etruscan style he devised for the drawing room influenced a suite of furniture for the dining room of the 4th Baronet’s sister, Mrs. Weddell, at Newby Hall. The Byram designs were carried out and a number of the executed projects are recorded in a series of Country Life photographs (Bolton, 1922, Volume II, pp. 306-7).The estate was systematically sold off in the 1920s, with over 2,600 acres of Byram Hall estate going under the hammer on 4-5 July 1922. At this time the house was also dismantled. The date genrally accepted for the complete demolition of the main house is 1947, thereby erasing Adam’s contribution to Byram Hall (although an extant lodge has also been linked with Adam).Sir John Frecheville Ramsden, 6th Baronet (1877–1958) John Frecheville Ramsden was the only son of the 5th Baronet, Sir John William Ramsden, and Lady Helen Gwendolen St Maur, the youngest daughter of the 12th Duke of Somerset. He attended Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge, had been High Sheriff of Buckinghamshire, a Deputy Lieutenant for the West Riding, and a Justice of the Peace for Cumberland. In the 1st World War he served in the Norfolk Yeomanry. John married Joan Buxton on 15th May 1901 in the district of Henstead, Norfolk, and had two sons and a daughter. (His son, John St. Maur Ramsden, was murdered at his home in North West Malaya in 1948). John succeeded his father in April 1914. Sir John Frecheville Ramsden, baronet of Muncaster Castle, Ravenglass, Cumberland, died 6th October 1958 at Ardverikie, Kinlochlaggan, Invernessshire. On his death, his son, Major Geoffrey William Pennington-Ramsden, who assumed the surname of Pennington in lieu of Ramsden in 1925, became the 7th baronet. There is also a plaque dedicated to John Frecheville Ramsden inside the church at Muncaster by SixBit's eCommerce Solutionviz: We now have attached Four Pages of the Insurance Schedule, which lists the 79 Works of Art paintings by Vandyke, Janson, Hudson, Knellor, Laly, JACKSON, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Laurance R.A., Salvator Rosa, Heins, Gainsborough, Sir Peter Paul Rubens and D.
