to the early C16 work of Abbot Huby at Fountains and several other sites
(Brimham Hall, How Hill Tower), his motto being 'Sol Deo Honor et Gloria'.
The Roundell family owned land in Knaresborough and Scriven in the medieval
period. Their arms (or, a fess gules between 3 olive brances vert) may be
those on the weathered stone. Speight refers to the house in the early C20
as 'reputed to have been the homestead of the Slingsbys of Scriven Hall;
there was then a coat of arms over the main entrance and 'a great portion
pulled down'. Included for group value.
