Turton Tower opens doors for new season
11:54am Tuesday 2nd March 2010 in
TURTON Tower throws its doors open again today after a four- month winter break.
Inside the Grade 1 listed building is a collection of period oak furniture on loan from the Victoria and Albert Museum, and a large number of paintings including a portrait of William Horrocks whose family lived as tenants in the Tower.
The Victorian kitchen tea room will be open and there is free parking.
A packed programme of activities for the year include family events, craft sessions, and indoor and outdoor theatre.
Coun Michael Law-Riding said: “Once again we are opening the doors of this fine Tudor house.
"It is one of only two Grade I listed buildings in our borough and is certainly the jewel in Blackburn with Darwen’s crown.”
