Cuerden Hall

The Hall was sold to Manchester business man Colin Shenton in 2020 who is restoring it to its original purpose as a family home.

The Trust is made up for 650 acres of land; 1 reservoir, 15 ponds, 3 reed beds; over 5km of the river Lostock and 5 nature reserves.

[3] In the years 1816 to 1819 Robert Townley Parker (1793–1879), having inherited the estate from his father, remodelled the Hall according to the designs of Lewis Wyatt.

An album filled with photographs, letters and news cuttings that tell this particular story in Cuerden Hall's history was recently offered for sale.

[6] In 1977 the Central Lancashire Development Corporation took over the Hall from the Ministry of Defence and established its own Headquarters there,[8] in the process constructing new offices and car parks in the grounds.
