Légende

Celebration of Palm Sunday in the Hall of Sackville College, East Grinstead, [Sussex]. 1850. 'This Hall, until lately used as a scullery, is a spacious lofty room with an open oak roof of three bays, the lower part panelled with dark oak, and having a gallery of the same material at the west end. The walls are ornamented with...shields bearing the arms of the various branches of the Dorset family. A large open chimney, with a blazing wood fire, is on one side; across the upper end and down the centre is placed a massive oak table. Around this were collected the aged inhabitants of the village, assembled to partake of the abundant and substantial fare provided for them by the amiable and much-respected warden. The branches of willow with which the walls were tastefully ornamented...indicated the festival they have assembled to celebrate'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
