Emmott Hall

Emmott Hall was a country house in the village of Laneshawbridge, Colne, Lancashire, England.

It stood on high ground two and a half miles east of Colne near the junction of the River Laneshaw and the Hullown Beck, facing south towards the Wycoller Valley.

A 7 foot high medieval cross-shaft, (the Emmott Cross or Touchcross) used to stand close to the well, but was moved to Colne churchyard when the hall was demolished.

On his death in 1745 the property passed to his nephew, Richard Wainhouse, who changed his surname by Parliamentary Order to Emmott.

The estate is still in the hands of the family, the current proprietor is Peter Douglas Edward Emmott Mackellar.
