IN THE DEARNE<\/span><\/h1>\n

Hoober Stand is a tower and Grade II listed building on a ridge in Wentworth, South Yorkshire in northern England. It was designed by Henry Flitcroft for the Whig aristocrat Thomas Watson-Wentworth, Earl of Malton to commemorate the quashing of the 1745 Jacobite rebellion.<\/p>\n

It is open to the public 2\u20135 pm on Sundays and bank holiday Mondays from the spring bank holiday weekend until the last Sunday in September.<\/p>\n

Hoober Stand is one of several follies in and around Wentworth Woodhouse park; the others include Needle’s Eye and Keppel’s Column.<\/p>\n

Thomas Watson-Wentworth (the Earl of Malton and Lord Lieutenant of the West Riding of Yorkshire) fought for the British Government against the 1745 Jacobite rising. When the rebellion was crushed, George II elevated the earl to the 1st Marquess of Rockingham (the title Earl of Malton passed to his only surviving son). Watson-Wentworth commissioned architect Henry Flitcroft to design a commemorative monument.<\/p>\n

Construction lasted from 1746 to 1748, and the structure cost \u00a33,000. The inscription above the doorway reads:<\/p>\n

“1748
\nThis Pyramidal Building was Erected
\nby his Majestys most Dutyfull Subject
\nTHOMAS Marquess of Rockingham Etc.
\nIn Grateful Respect to the Preserver of our Religion
\nLaws and Libertys
\nKING GEORGE The Second
\nWho by the blessing of God having Subdued a most Unnatural Rebellion
\nIn Britain Anno 1746
\nMaintains the Ballance of Power and Settles
\nA just and Honourable peace in Europe
\n1748”<\/p>\n
