 Witton Country Park : Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council
Witton Country Park is 480 acres of beautiful mixed woodland, parkland and farmland to the west of Blackburn.
Sadly Witton House was demolished in 1954, after being sold to Blackburn Corporation in 1946.  The Witton Estate, comprising some 485 acres was included in this sale.  The price of £64,000 seems ridiculous by todays standards but was a fortune just after the war.
Fortunately the outbuildings of Witton House survived and these former stables and coach-houses were renovated in the late 1970s.  They were officially opened in 1980 as the visitor centre for the country park.

 witton gilbert history
Witton Hall, now in use as a farmhouse, is on the site of the old leper hospital of St. Mary Magdalene, which had owed its existence to the generosity of Gilbert de la Ley, the Norman who had become Lord of Witton in the year 1120.
