SAMLESBURY Hall is again open to the public.

The 14th Century building has undergone an extensive £200,000 refurbishment to its chapel, parlour and entrance area.

David Hornby, of the Samlesbury Hall Trust, which owns the hall, said: "We have replaced new for old and oak has been imported from America. I'm certain the work will be appreciated by our visitors."

The hall houses an extensive display of antiques and collector's items, as well as craft, art and other exhibits.

The Hall is open every day except Saturday and Monday from 11am to 4.30pm.
