Rosedale Manor, Harelaw

This fine old house isn't actually a manor; it was built in 1840 as the vicarage for the village of Harelaw. It looks a very grand vicarage for a little village, but in those days Harelaw was a more important place than it is today. It was originally part of the Township of Kyo, which dates from the early middle ages. Many of the surrounding villages didn't exist then; they date only from the 18th or 19th centuries and the start of the coalmining industry.
