HESKIN HALL, HESKIN, NR CHORLEY, LANCASHIRE, ENGLAND.

            THIS, THE 'NEW HALL', WAS BUILT IN 1545, SURPRISINGLY, ALTHOUGH THERE IS A “DE-HESKIN” FAMILY THAT APPEARS IN THE RECORDS, THEY DO NOT APPEAR TO HAVE ANY LINKS WITH THE HALL.
HESKIN HALL IS ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES OF TUDOR ARCHITECTURE IN THE NORTH WEST OF ENGLAND.  SET IN 8 ACRES OF GROUNDS AND SURROUNDED BY OVER 300 ACRES OF FARMLAND IT BOASTS PANELLED ROOMS, BARONIAL FIREPLACES, A PRIEST HOLE AND STUDDED OAK DOORS.
THE LAST PEOPLE TO OCCUPY THE HALL AS A HOME WERE LORD & LADY LILFORD IN THE 1960′S.  SHE WAS AN EX DANCER AND ACTRESS AND ON THEIR DIVORCE IN 1969 THE HALL WENT TO HER AS PART OF HER SETTLEMENT.
PROBABLY THE MOST TALKED ABOUT INHABITANTS OF THE HALL ARE THE GHOSTS.  THERE WERE THREE DOCUMENTED BUT ONE LEFT, IT IS SAID, WITH HIS PIECE OF FURNITURE MANY YEARS AGO.  THE TWO REMAINING ARE THE A YOUNG GIRL AND AN OLDER MAN THAT ARE SAID TO DATE FROM THE CIVIL WAR. 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.
