Gawthorpe Hall – Grade I. Interesting walk around this Jacobean Manor House, architecture very similar to Hardwick Hall. The architect is thought to be Robert Smythson who designed Hardwick Hall.
Internal alterations were carried out in the C19 by Sir Charles Barry with the help of Augustus Pugin. I like the Minton tiles, very similar in design to those in the Houses of Parliament.
