Description
Turton Tower
A brief history.
Nestling in peaceful woodland in Lancashire, Turton Tower was originally built as a fortification against the marauding Scots but has been modified extensively over the centuries,the original square tower dates back circa 1420 when William Orrell married Elizabeth de Torboc.After living beyond their means the tower was sold to Humphrey Chetham who sided with parliament during the civil war and allowed the roundhead soldiers to use the tower as a hostel.The tower passed through a number of owners until the last owner Lady Nina Knowles left the house in trust to North Turton District Trust.

What a marvellous building (and so British!!) I love the colours, lighting and POV and the "curved" effect of the path just draws you into the shot. Excellent capture. Hugs Chrissy xx

You make the hardness of the brick gentle and the sharpness of the construction soft. Amazing work.

Beautiful architecture and super photo. I love buildings with history or is that history of buildings lol.. not sure which. This would make a super cover of a murder mystery novel. Excellent work.
Beautiful capture with a nice bit of English history too.
