Brief description of site

This site has a landscape park associated with an Elizabethan hall (with Carr additions of the late-1700s). JMW Turner painted Farnley several times and Loudon may have been involved with improvements.

Brief history of site

The Ordnance Survey map of 1909 shows the hall, terrace, fountains, stable block, driveways, avenues, wilderness, ice house, lakes, parkland, lodges, possible walled garden, and glass houses. It is unclear how many of these features survive.
