Gawthorpe Hall, Lancashire
This collection has 868 items online
Gawthorpe Hall was built for the Shuttleworth family, 1600-05, and has Elizabethan panelling and plasterwork of outstanding quality. It was sensitively restored in the 1850s by Sir Charles Barry in collaboration with A.W.N. Pugin – Gawthorpe being the only country house in which these two great architects of the Palace of Westminster collaborated. As a result, the collection is rich in Gothic Revival furniture, metalwork and textiles.
