Overview

Downham Hall was designed by George Webster (1797-1864) in 1835, though it was built on remains from the sixteenth century.[1] It has two storeys and an attic.[1] In terms of architectural style, it has Doric columns, window aprons, the shields of Henry de Lacy, 3rd Earl of Lincoln (1251-1311) and John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster (1340-1399), a cornice, and architraves.[1]

It is currently the private residence of Ralph John Assheton, 2nd Baron Clitheroe (born 1929).[2]

It has been a Grade II* listed building since 13 December 1977.[1]
