Heath Old Hall
The backwall and steps are few of the remnants left of the
original building that stood on this site. The building dated from
the 1500's and was built for a John Kaye. Locally the house is
more famous for Lady Mary Bolles, whose ghost, the blue lady,
is said to haunt the ruins of the building. The lawn to the rear of
the building it is said, is where, during the civil war commanders
of the army played bowls and were entertained by Lady Mary
while opposing forces entered Wakefield from Northgate with
little or no opposition.
