Winstanley Hall

Winstanley Hall dates back to the reign of Queen Elizabeth I when it was built by the Winstanleys of Wigan, who had been lords of the manor since at least 1252. It had been the home of the Bankes family since 1595. The last member of the Bankes family left the house in 1984 and the building has since fallen into disrepair. It was sold to developers in 2000 and Save Britain's Heritage is now working to rescue it from decay.
