Halford Leicestershire Table Sauce, also Halford sauce or Leicestershire sauce, was once as common a condiment in the United States as ketchup is today. [1] [2] The product was similar to Worcestershire sauce, [3] with some recipes of the time using it interchangeably. [4]
Bottled in England, this sauce was imported to the United States via Boston. While the company producing it went out of business, because of its previously ubiquitous status in the late 19th century, its bottles are still considered collectable today.
From an article in Donahoe's Magazine, January 1888:
This celebrated sauce, which has been advertised in our MAGAZINE for some time, is manufactured by Mr. William Halford, who was born in Leicester, the borough town of Leicestershire, England. In 1857 he came to Nova Scotia as Comptroller of the household of His Excellency the Earl of Mulgrave, now Marquis of Normandy, who was commissioned by the Queen Lieutenant Governor of that Province. The Earl had a recipe for a table-relish. The recipe was that of the far-famed “ Raby Hunt Sauce," which the duke of Cleveland (a distant relative of our president), at Raby Castle, the duke’s county seat, on occasion of the “meets " or assemblages of huntsmen and hounds (frequent during the season), caused to be used as a delicacy. To the earl of Mulgrave, now, by his father's death, Marquis of Normandy, the duke of Cleveland gave the recipe, and he, previous to leaving Nova Scotia for England to take his father‘s seat in the House of Lords, gave it to Mr. Halford. These explanations relative to the origin of the Halford Leicestershire Table Sauce are given to distinguish it from the many worthless articles vended, purporting to be relishes or sauces once owned or patronized by English noblemen. Mr. H. has always maintained that what is sauce for the goose is good for the gander. [5] [ unreliable source? ]

Raby Castle is a medieval castle located near Staindrop in County Durham, England, among 200 acres (810,000 m2) of deer park. It was built by John Neville, 3rd Baron Neville de Raby, between approximately 1367 and 1390. Cecily Neville, the mother of the Kings Edward IV and Richard III, was born here. After Charles Neville, 6th Earl of Westmorland, led the failed Rising of the North in favour of Mary, Queen of Scots in 1569 Raby Castle was taken into royal custody. Sir Henry Vane the Elder purchased Raby Castle in 1626 and neighbouring Barnard Castle from the Crown, and the Earls of Darlington and Dukes of Cleveland added a Gothic-style entrance hall and octagonal drawing room. From 1833 to 1891 they were the Dukes of Cleveland and they retain the title of Lord Barnard. Extensive alterations were carried out in the 17th and 18th centuries. It is famed for both its size and its art, including works by old masters and portraits.

It is a Grade I listed building and open to the public on a seasonal basis.
