WINTEREDGE

WINTEREDGE, a single house in the township of Hipperholme, and parish of Halifax; 3 miles from Halifax.

This House appears, at some remote period to have been of some consequence, although in Watson's time it was "not the residence of any Gentleman." Under the Garden House is the following inscription:-

"Garrulus insano crucietur mundus amore,
Dum mea placide vita serena placet."

Over the door of the Garden House, "Meliora spero." Still higher over the window, "contra vim mortis, non est medicamen in hortis." And in the said Garden House in an Out building, called the Workhouse, and in the Kitchen, are a variety of figures in stained glass, with appropriate mottoes. --Watson's History of Halifax.

Winteredge was held, 42 Elizabeth, of the Crown in fee, by Samuel Saltonstall, of Huntwike, and has lately been, says Mr. Watson, in the possession of the Priestleys. --Ibid.
