Samlesbury Hall: A Journey Through Time. Official Book

Samlesbury Hall – A Journey Through Time is a richly woven narrative history of Samlesbury Hall, charting the extraordinary life of one of England’s most complex and enigmatic historic houses. From its medieval foundations and Tudor transformation to its role in religious persecution, witch trials, education, industry, and near-destruction, the Hall’s story unfolds room by room and century by century. Drawing on archival research, architectural evidence, and long-held traditions, it reveals how generations of families, servants, priests, rebels, and reformers shaped the building that stands today.

Alongside documented fact, the book explores the legends, mysteries, and ghostly traditions that have become inseparable from Samlesbury’s identity. Tales of hidden priest holes, tragic love affairs, secret vaults, martyrdom, and restless spirits are examined in their historical context. Clear, authoritative, and deeply atmospheric, this is the official and definitive account of Samlesbury Hall - not just how it was built, owned, and restored, but how it has been feared, loved, re-imagined, and treasured for over seven centuries.
