Description:

Interior view showing the great hall at Astley Hall, Chorley. The great hall has an immensely ornate 17th century plasterwork ceiling containing many putti (cherubs) which are just detectable in the print. There is fine oak furniture and partial wooden panelling featuring arches and columns visible in the hall. The highly decorative staircase also dates from the 17th century and has a carved acanthus scroll balustrade and square newels topped with vases of flowers. A large lantern style light hangs in the centre of the hall. There is a large fireplace with a carve feature overmantel. Above the fireplace is a mounted deer head. The Charnock family built the original timber-framed Astley Hall in the late 15th century. In 1665, Margaret Charnock married Richard Brooke (of Mere) and they built the present frontage to the property in the 17th century. The property remained with the Brooke family until moving through marriage into the Parker family in the 18th century. It was inherited by Reginald Tatton, nephew by marriage to the Parkers in 1906. In 1922 the house and its contents were given to Chorley Corporation by Reginald, as a memorial to the local men killed in World War I. It has since been maintained as a museum.
