More about this scene
The hall, parts of which date from 1550, has been re-built and added to over the years. It was only two stories high when it was first built - the long gallery and the balustraded top were added in 1685. The Hall belonged to the Charnock, the Brooke and the Parker families before Reginald Tatton gave it to the town as part of a memorial to the local men who gave their lives in the First World War. It was formally handed over in February 1922, and it opened as a museum on 31 May 1924. The Council look after it well, and there is much to see in this fine old building.
