Geocache Description:

Magnetic nano. Small log only. BYOP. Note GPS wavers under tree cover.

Whitley Hall sat within a 24 acre garden which included a large garden pond which still survives as Whitley Reservoir. The estate was purchased in 1775 by Holt Leigh, the son of Alexander Leigh who had purchased Hindley Hall and Park in 1721. Whitley, also known as White Leigh, was much improved by Holt Leigh and he eventually changed its name to Leigh Place. This was the home in which he would bring up his family with his wife Mary (nee Owen) who was the co-heiress of Bispham Hall. The eldest son, Robert Holt Leigh, later Baron Whitley of Wigan must have been granted the estate before Holt Leigh's death as it is not mentioned in his will. Sir Robert Holt Leigh lived here with his siblings until he had rebuilt Hindley Hall in about 1811. His younger sister, Johannah was still living at Whitley Hall in 1835 (www.parksandgardens.org/places-and-people/site/6596/history).
