| | Nevison's Chair (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | In 1684, the Parish Constable of Sandal Magna, together with John Ramsden, accompanied William Hardcastle J.P., to apprehend the notorious highwayman William Nevison (aka John Nevinson). |
 | | Nevison, famous as the "Highwayman who, dying of the Plague as was thought, reappeared as his own Ghost" (1), was apparently asleep in the chair pictured to the right, doubtless after consuming a pint or two of ale. |
 | | Whether Nevison spent a lot of time in the Three Houses, or indeed in the Sandal area, is lost in the mists of time. |
