The Museum
'A remarkable restoration, packed with interest and detail Excellent' visitor comments

New exhibitions include:

• the story of a Lancashire farmhouse. Dating from the 15th century, Park Hill was a working farm for most of its existence. Use the inter-active computer to see how Park Hill grew from the first timber framed building to the house you see today.
• the story of the notorious Pendle Witches which resulted in their famous trial in 1612.
• the history of the Bannister family, who settled at Park Hill in the 1400s, and the Swinglehursts who occupied part of the house from the late 18th century and built the Georgian extension (shown right).
