Werneth Park

Werneth Park is a public park in Oldham, Greater Manchester, England, including a Grade II* listed community centre, music rooms, Dame Sarah Lees Memorial, gardens and sports facilities.

[1][2] During the late-19th century, each of the Platt, Lees and Radcliffe families built a "mill town mansion" overlooking the park's landscape and developed their grounds as gardens.

[1][2] This monument to the local philanthropist and public figure, Dame Sarah Lees (1842–1935), was erected in her honour by the townspeople of Oldham in 1937.

[4] Werneth Park Adult Education Centre was originally the private residence of the Lees family.

Since 1936, it has been adapted for use as a community centre with the building extended to add a rear wing to house the Natural History Collection.
