Hoghton Tower, Historic manor house in Hoghton, Lancashire, England
The sandstone fortified manor stands on a hilltop site featuring two courtyards, a gatehouse with a 16th-century cartouche, and extensive gardens spanning multiple levels.
Thomas de Hoghton constructed the current building between 1560 and 1565, replacing an earlier structure that had belonged to the family since the 12th century.
The banqueting hall contains 4,000 Flemish stained glass panes and serves as a venue for concerts, exhibitions, and performances throughout the year.
Guided tours lasting 40 minutes take visitors through several rooms, including the galleried banqueting hall, Tudor well house, and period furniture collections.
During the English Civil War in 1643, a powder magazine explosion killed over 100 Parliamentary soldiers and severely damaged parts of the building.
