Astley Hall

Astley Hall is a historic country house located in Chorley, Lancashire, England. Built mainly during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, it represents an important example of English domestic architecture from the Tudor and Jacobean periods. The building is notable for its timber-framed construction, later brick additions, and richly decorated interiors, including plasterwork, wood panelling, and historic furnishings. Astley Hall also reflects the social status and cultural aspirations of the families who owned it. Surrounded by parkland and gardens, the site provides valuable evidence of changing architectural styles, elite domestic life, and heritage preservation in northern England.
