Turton Tower
Turton Tower - Chapeltown Road, Blackburn with Darwen, Lancashire BL7 0HG
A distinctive English country house located on the edge of the popular walking area of the West Pennine Moors, Turton Tower has evolved over five centuries.
Originally built by the Tudor Orrell family to defend their land, it later became a luxurious home. The house was lavishly furnished and extended in both the Tudor and early Stuart periods.
After falling into decline during the Georgian era, the house was rescued by the Kay family who restored and extended the house, taking it into the Victorian period.
