Title
Farnhill Hall - HLS05791
Description
Slide 2 - The Principal entrance fronts to the north, and it is protected by an overhanging chamber, heavily corbelled, and exceedingly picturesque. There is a secret entrance to this chamber from which an outlook was obtained in troublous times.
After the Battle of Bannockburn, the Scots over ran the North of England and Craven, rich in cattle, received frequent visits. In the Comptus of Bolton Abbey, there appears in the record for the year 1318, that Wm de Farnel, the then resident, on account of the ravages of the Scots, was assisted by the bounty, and received monetary assistance, from the canons of Bolton who were equal sufferers.
Farnhill Hall, although the date of its erection is uncertain, undoubtedly is one of the most interesting buildings in the neighbourhood.
