Turton Tower, Historical country house in Turton, England

Turton Tower features multiple architectural styles, combining a stone defensive tower with Tudor timber-framed extensions and Victorian modifications to the structure.

The original structure, built in the 15th century by the Orrell family as a defensive tower, underwent transformations into a residential property during Tudor times.

The museum displays regional furniture collections and paintings that represent both Tudor and Victorian periods of English domestic life.

The tower welcomes visitors from March to October, Wednesday through Sunday, with admission prices of £6 for adults and free entry for children under 16.

The kitchen location within Turton Tower remained unchanged for over 500 years, now serving as the Woodland Cafe for visitors.
