Lancashire's Historic Halls by David Brazendale
The historic buildings in the old county of
Lancashire can be enjoyed on so many levels. For some people it is the
architecture or art; for others it is the chance to see and feel how the
other half lived; and for some they are just beautiful places in grand
settings where a good cup of tea and a homemade cake can be found. But
whatever your motivation, there is no doubt that your visit will be
greatly enhanced by the lively and superbly presented information in
this excellent book. If no man is an island, then neither is any
historic building; there is a story to tell in each case, a particular
part a hall or house has played in history that reveals much about the
development of Lancashire. By placing the story of the halls and their
various occupants in the context of the wider history of the county we
can understand more clearly why the buildings are as they are, and can
experience our past in a way which is relevant and 'real'.
