More about this scene
A comfortable Tudor farmhouse beside a 15th-century pele, Turton Tower is associated with Humphrey Chetham, remembered for the free library, school and hospital that he founded in Manchester. James Kay, who lived here when the Manchester to Bolton railway was built, required the bridges on his estate to be decorated with battlemented towers, to preserve its character.
