Brougham Hall

 Brougham Hall stands on a site which has been a fortified home since at least 1480.
 
It reached it’s zenith in Victorian Times, when it became known as the Windsor of the North, and the home of the Lord Chancellor of England.

 As a halfway house between Windsor and Balmoral, Brougham played host to King Edward V11 and the future King George V on numerous occasions.

 In 1934 however, the hall fell on hard times but was rescued from dereliction in 1985. In the last decade, and for at least five years to come, Brougham has been and will be the subject of the largest country house restoration project in England.

 The site is now a ‘home’ for small crafts and there is also a museum on the history of Brougham and it’s environs. A visit to the lovely Cromwellian chapel alongside the Hall is highly recommended. Admission is free, although a contribution to restoration costs of the Hall would be appreciated.
