Towneley Hall - a photo on Flickriver

Towneley Hall

            As you can see, yesterday it had stopped raining and we had blue skies!!! Sadly it's raining again today!!

I will be doing an album just on Towneley Hall, as some of the rooms are just a joy to see and I'm sure you would enjoy seeing them.

Situated half a mile south-east of Burnley, Lancashire, it lies within a 284 acre park and for over six centuries it was the residential home of the Towneley family, who lived there from the 13th century to 1902. The present house dates from the 14th and 16th century but owes much of its present-day appearance to the architect, Jeffry Wyatt (early 1800's).

It is recorded that Towneley first became the home of the ancient Catholic family during the lifetime of Richard of Towneley who died in 1295. However the present building construction probably started around 1400, although it has to be said little remains of this, apart from the sandstone wall (six feet thick at one part) on the courtyard side of the South East Wing.

Close observation of the walls also reveals a half hidden window at ground level that tells us that the level was raised at some time, probably in the 1700’s. An internal wall running between the kitchen and family dining room is also six feet thick and was, during mediaeval times, an external wall. At one time there were four wings to the House, but the fourth side was demolished between the years 1706-1711. 

Towneley Hall also boasts secret rooms, known as Priest Holes, that were used as hiding places during the persecution of Catholics in Elizabethan times. One such ‘hide’ still exists and can be viewed through a hole in the floor of a room near the Long Gallery.
