Paul MacLean

Commentary
'The two central principals [in the ceiling] probably indicate the presence of a louvre' suggesting the former location of a central fireplace (<i>VCH Lanc</i> 5.17). The present fireplace is a reconstruction.

Commentary
Located on the W side of the hall. The carved stone chimney-piece was superimposed over the wider 17th c. fireplace in 1851. Barry concealed the sides with oak panelling and woodwork to match the rest of the room (<i>Gawthorpe Hall</i> 13).

Commentary
A lofty stone arch (now filled in) likely marks the location of the original ingle. Now a smaller fireplace of a later date is situated below the arch.
