Rufford Old Hall
Rufford Old Hall in Lancashire is one of the finest examples of a late medieval great hall in England, its breathtaking hammer-beam roof and ornate carved screen still intact after five centuries. The house later gained fine Tudor and Victorian additions, but it is the medieval great hall — atmospheric and magnificently preserved — that makes Rufford truly unforgettable.
