Gawthorpe Hall
Situated just outside Burnley in the heart of Pendle Witch Country, Gawthorpe Hall was the family home of the Shuttleworth family which Charlotte Bronte visited frequently as a friend of John Kay-Shuttleworth.
Originally founded as a Pele tower to defend against invading Scots from the north, the current building is Elizabethan in its styling, having been mainly constructed in the early 1600s.
Bronte Country is designed, maintained and promoted by Eagle Intermedia Publishing Ltd.
