Furniture

Chairs, chests, cabinets and tables – When Alice, Lady O’Hagan left the Hall in 1902, she took most of the furniture with her. Only a few pieces of furniture including the Barcroft Table, which is now in The Great Hall, some benches and kitchen equipment were left behind.

Towneley’s collection of regional English oak furniture from the 1600s is regarded among the best in the UK.  

Since the 1920s the Museum has bought items to furnish the Hall and today we care for about 280 pieces of furniture.
