Samlesbury hall has a fascinating history, from the original hall's demise at the hands of Robert the Bruce to its role as a sanctuary for persecuted Catholics during the Reformation. It also stood witness to one of England's most famous witch trials, the trial of the Pendle witches in 1612, with one of its occupants facing accusations of witchcraft. The building was saved from demolition in the 1920s and is both open to the public and a wedding venue.

Very interesting, being Catholic, as school children taught by nuns we were taken to many historic places of interest. I was taught in Caverswall Castle, in the stables for at least a full year, breakfast in the castle dini g Room for my Communion, carried the queens crown at the summer fate on castle grounds. Was taken on tours of castles by my family., places of the Castles closed off today. Thank you for reminding me of the dark times we went through. Marie from the UK 🇬🇧❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿.

When I was 11(1960) I did a project on Samlesbury Hall as someone had reported seeing a ghost outside the hall. The local press took on the story and found it incorrect.Hence my project was very short.
