Extwistle Hall is a tudor style manor house built in the sixteenth century. it is situated in the countryside halfway between Worsthorne and Haggate. It is only a small place and some parts are not accessable due to damage. It was a dodgy place back in the day, it is rumoured that people living in and around Extwistle Hall believed in raising the devil and other satanic rituals. It was owned by the Parker family for two hundred years until there was a tragic accident, one rainy day a member of the household came back from shooting and threw his wet coat next to the fire to dry it off. He didnt realise that he had left a small pouch of gunpowder in the pocket and it exploded fatally injuring himself and severely injuring others in the House. Since the accident the house is believed to have been unnocupied except for the odd farmer using it now and again. It is a listed building and may be being restored in the near future. Sadly i cant find any more information about the place, surely it has more history to it than this!!
This was taken on the approach to the House.
This is one of the second floor rooms you can see the old stonework under the plaster.
Pretty cool windows, well they would have been in the day.
Another second floor room, was a risky shot this one i didnt know if i was going to fall through the floor or not lol.
Then it was down the stairs to access the first floor! These stairs were very badly damaged.
An old studded door, why did they put loads of studs in them?
A first floor room.
A few more windows with lead detail.
I was on the first floor taking pictures when all of a sudden a bloody big badger came from a hole in the floor and started growling at me, so i buggered off fast but not before finding this rams head, nice!!
There is also a third floor to the building and another part which i couldnt get in because i didnt have the equipment with me, ill probably make another trip down there to explore the rest soon!
