Dalderby's quaintest possession was unfortunately burnt down some years ago. It was a one-roomed cottage with a thatched roof reaching to the ground; with a jutting window for a handle and a chimney for a spout, it was known for many miles around as Teapot Hall. The house was inhabited until the 1920s and ruinous in the 1930s. There is a suggestion that it was one of a pair forming lodges to Scrivelsby Court, but this is contested. The earliest photograph is dated 1898. Unfortunately, this curiosity was set on fire during victory celebrations in 1945. Some pictures show additional small building(s) at rear but these may be outhouses. It was evidently already far gone when burnt down in June 1945, but the 'Architect's Journal' in May 1945 was pressing for its repair. {1}{2}{3}{4}{5}{6}{7}
