Geocache Description:

Samlesbury Hall – The fourth part of four in the series “Hall’s well that ends well”

The hall dates from 1370 and is built almost wholly of timber with very little plaster or masonry. During the reign of Queen Elizabeth, the hall was Sir John Southworth 's home. He was Sheriff of Lancashire and a staunch Catholic.

There is an interesting story of a ghostly sighting made at the hall in the mid 19th century. It is well worth a look at www.bbc.co.uk/lancashire/spooky/2005/02/25/ian_samlesbury.shtml for the details.

The cache is not in the grounds of the hall; it is located by the roadside nearby. Be sure to write down the value of the letter from the container lid to lead you to the final part.
