Browsholme Hall, Lancashire
Browsholme Hall
Browsholme owes much of its architectural character to the antiquarian interests of Thomas Lister Parker who remodelled the 17th century �H� plan house in the early 19th century and rebuilt the west wing to the designs of Jeffry Wyatt (later Wyatville) in 1805, having previously furnished the hall with �armour and other curious things� and filled the staircase window with a collage of medieval glass fragments from Whalley Abbey. The Regency wing contains Wyatt�s fine Drawing and Dining Rooms hung with Parker�s Old Masters and contemporary English pictures.
Col. John Parker (1857-1938) also developed a keen antiquarian interest and introduced further Jacobean furnishings for some of the bedrooms using fragments of original woodwork, to extremely convincing effect.
