Samlesbury Hall, Medieval country house in Samlesbury, England

The black and white timbered exterior of Samlesbury Hall features ornate carvings and architectural details characteristic of 14th-century English construction methods.

Built in 1325 by Gilbert de Southworth, this manor house remained the principal residence of the Southworth family until their departure in the early 1600s.

The hall maintains period rooms with furnishings and decorative elements that showcase the lifestyles of Lancashire's prominent families across different centuries.

Located six miles east of Preston, the hall welcomes visitors every day except Saturdays, with guided tours available throughout the opening hours.

The building transformed from a family residence to a public house, then a boarding school, before becoming a museum saved from demolition in 1925.
