History

Leighton Hall was established in 1519. The house was re-built from 1760-65 by John Hird for George Townley. In 1800, a gothic façade was added to the house. By 1870, the south wing of Leighton Hall was built by Paley and Austin of Lancaster. Currently, the Hall is privately owned and is used as a wedding venue.
