Architecture

Heskin Hall

Heskin Hall dates back to 1548.{{Citation needed|date=August 2011}} The last people to occupy the hall as a residential home were Lord and Lady Lilford in the 1960s.

Since then the hall has been used commercially for antique sales, and other uses including Blackburn College who have used it for training and educational purposes. The hall is now registered as a venue for weddings and civil ceremonies and has a restaurant to cater for the visitors to the Antique Centre and Garden Centre which opened in 2010.

Ghosts

The hall is said to be haunted by a young Catholic girl, and an older man. The pair are thought to be from the time of Oliver Cromwell who stayed at the hall on his travels. The young girl is said to have been sacrificed by a Catholic priest, who hung her as a sign that he had converted from Catholicism to Protestantism. Civil war soldiers where not convinced of his conversion so they hung him from the same spot as the young girl. Lady Lilford's guests in the 1960s are said to have swiftly departed from the house during a dinner party after experiencing a ghostly appearance of a resident ghost during their stay.^[2]
