Astley Hall, Grade I listed museum in Chorley, England
The red-brick country house displays architectural elements from multiple periods, with a central entrance marked by four stone columns and symmetrical windows.
The initial structure from 1575 underwent modifications in 1665 when Margaret Charnock married Richard Brooke, leading to the construction of the current front range.
The museum exhibits mid-17th century plaster ceilings, painted wall panels, and period furniture, representing the tastes of four prominent Lancashire families.
The museum opens Wednesday through Sunday, with adult admission at £5.00 for non-residents and £2.50 for Chorley residents.
The museum houses a 23.5-foot-long shovelboard table on its top floor gallery, demonstrating recreational activities of past centuries.
