Duxbury Hall, Country house in Duxbury Woods, Lancashire, England.
Duxbury Hall is a country house in Lancashire with a rectangular two-story structure built from local stone. The east-facing facade features a classical columned portico, and the interior contains five main reception rooms.
The original medieval building belonged to the Duxbury family until 1315, when the Standish family gained control after the Banastre Rebellion. The current house was built in 1823 and replaced earlier structures that had occupied the site.
The hall was home to the Standish family for centuries and left its mark across the Atlantic. The town of Duxbury in Massachusetts takes its name from this English estate.
The grounds now serve as a public golf course where visitors can walk around the remaining structures. The former stables and coach house are visible from the main area, though they function as offices today.
Hidden beneath the main house in the cellars lies evidence of an earlier brick structure that once surrounded a courtyard. This discovery reveals that the site was inhabited long before the current building was constructed.
