About the Item
The engraving depicts "Sir William Rowley's Dog Kennel at Tendring Hall, Suffolk." This artwork from around 1795 illustrates a building specifically designed for housing dogs, likely hounds, as suggested by the kennel's size and structure. Such facilities were common on estates belonging to the British aristocracy and gentry during this period, reflecting the importance of hunting as both a sport and a social activity.
The engraving shows a modest, single-story building enclosed by a fence. The kennel features several windows and two chimneys, indicating it was designed to accommodate numerous dogs, providing both ventilation and heating. The surrounding trees and the presence of a fence suggest a secluded area, possibly within a larger estate, ensuring the dogs' safety and containment.
Historical Context
Sir William Rowley was a notable figure in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Tendring Hall, located in Suffolk, was a significant country house of the Rowley family, built in the early 18th century. The estate likely included various facilities to support the lifestyle of the landed gentry, including hunting lodges, stables, and kennels. Hunting, particularly fox hunting, was a popular pastime among the British aristocracy, and estates like Tendring Hall would have maintained extensive kennels for their hounds.
Significance of Dog Kennels
Kennels like the one depicted were not merely practical; they were also a status symbol, showcasing the owner's wealth and commitment to maintaining a well-bred pack of hounds. This engraving highlights the architectural and social importance of such structures in maintaining the traditions and pastimes of the British upper class during this era.

Located in Langweer, NL
Antique print titled 'Principal Front of Kirby Hall'.
Kirby Hall is an Elizabethan country house, located near Gretton, Northamptonshire, England. The nearest main town is Corby. One of the great Elizabethan houses of England, Kirby Hall was built for Sir Humphrey Stafford of Blatherwick, beginning in 1570. In 1575 the property was purchased by Sir Christopher Hatton of Holdenby,[1] Lord Chancellor to Queen Elizabeth I. It is a leading and early example of the Elizabethan prodigy house. Construction on the building began in 1570, based on the designs in French architectural pattern books and expanded in the Classical style over the course of the following decades. The house is now in a semi-ruined state with many parts roof-less although the Great Hall and state rooms remain intact. The gardens, with their elaborate "cutwork" design, complete with statues and urns, have been recently restored.
Anne of Denmark stayed at Kirby on 9 August 1605 while King James stayed at Rockingham Castle. King James stayed for three days in August 1616. During a royal progress Esmé Stewart, 3rd Duke of Lennox died at Kirby of the "spotted ague" on 30 July 1624.
The building and gardens are owned by the Earl of Winchilsea and are managed by English Heritage.
