Ball at Hawkstone, to Commemorate the Majority of Hon. Rowland Clegg Hill, 1854. Party for Rowland Clegg-Hill's 21st birthday at the family seat of Hawkstone Hall in Shropshire. 'The pavilion arranged for the salon de danse was erected on the terrace adjoining the Hall. The temporary apartment, 116 feet in length by 36 wide, was draped, tent-like, in scarlet and white. It was lighted by a profusion of chaste chandeliers and brackets, and the ball-room was decorated with flags and banners, the ensemble having a most picturesque and imposing effect. Messrs. Coote and Tinney's band, assisted by Mr. Walter C. Hay, of Shrewsbury, and a small staff, occupied a raised platform in the centre'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
