Towneley from A to Z
Towneley from A to Z
An inventory of room contents in 1871 gives one version of the room names used by the Towneley family. Other room names can be seen labelling the servants' bells used to call servants to those rooms. A few rooms retain the names given them by the Towneley family before 1902 whilst other names were developed by the custom and practice of the curators and attendants since 1902.
