		Towneley Hall, their imposing Elizabethan country seat, dates from the early 15th century and is set in 62 acres of parkland.
		In more recent times, the Towneleys held land around the Stargate Pit until 1826, and gleaned a great deal of new wealth from surface coal mining in the area, where coal had to be transported across Towneley land for payment of a toll or wayleave.
		Towneley Hall remained with the Towneley family until the early 20th century, when Lady O'Hagan (Alice Mary Towneley) sold the Hall and 62 acres to Burnley Corporation for a nominal sum of £17,500 in 1901.
