Cannon Hall

A jewel of our town, restoring grounds to glory
History of our Cannon Hall, that's really quite a story
Spencer-Stanhope wealth from iron and fossil fuel
For most local people old times were bleak and cruel
Sweeping views across to town, sip coffee, write and think
No worry of the news and if we're on the brink
New paths threading to the boathouse, wild flowers by the lakes
Soaking in the history not modern day mistakes
Sir Walter's stunning fairyland the small pond and the yews
Gothic arches from our church yards recycled what was used
Was a bit surprised no large pond or wisteria
Then I found the round one, it wasn't quite hysteria
Kindly renovation for bats at the deer shelter
Well Cannon Hall museum it really is a belter
