    The Tudor Great Hall

    The magnificent Tudor Great Hall dating from 1538 is licensed to hold civil marriages and partnerships. Suits of armour stand guard as you walk down the aisle and a splendid giant carved oak screen oversees ceremonies. The room was previously used as a banqueting hall for the Hesketh family and it is rumoured that William Shakespeare once performed here.
