More about this scene

In 1840 a Mrs Carter died, leaving Abbot Hall, the second building on the site, to her wealthy niece, Miss Mary Lambert of Boarbank Hall. Abbot Hall was then rebuilt, and it was considerably extended in 1868, when the tower and south west wing were added. In 1915 it was purchased by the then Wesley Guild, and is now used for holidays and a conference centre.
