Browsholme Hall

Browsholme Hall /ˈbruːzəm/ is a privately owned Tudor house in the parish of Bowland Forest Low in the borough of Ribble Valley, Lancashire (although historically in the West Riding of Yorkshire), England.

[2] In the fourteenth century, Edmund Parker was park-keeper of Radholme Laund, west of Browsholme, one of the two great deer parks in the Forest of Bowland.

[3] In 1393, his sons Richard and John were deputy parkers of Radholme, but from 1380, they had a lease of the vaccary (mediaeval cattle farm) of Browsholme.

[3] When in 1507, King Henry VII disafforested Bowland,[4] Edmund Parker obtained a copyhold of Nether Browsholme and began the present house.

Elizabeth notably documented her life, as her brother Edward inherited the house, before he left it to his son, John Parker M.P.

His son, Robert Goulbourne Parker (1900–75), repaired Browsholme in 1958 with the aid of the Historic Buildings Council, and from 1957, opened the house to the public, giving personally guided tours.
