History abounds at hall
Popular accounts of ghostly sightings in Mitton Hall abound...
DATING back to 1497, Mitton Hall H o tel is s itu a ted in the heart of the Ribble Valley, just outside the historic village of Whalley and is one of the area's gems. Cromwells, the restaurant, fea
tures an open plan kitchen where you can watch the chefs prepare your food and, in summer, you can dine al fresco on the drinks terrace. The hotel is also a very popular choice for weddings.
The History of Mitton Hall Mitton Hall is said to be the
finest Tudor mansion to be seen in the Ribble Valley. I t was built at the end of the 15th Century in the reign of Henry VII, the first Tudor monarch. The beautifully preserved house
has attracted the attention of histo rians and art ists alike over the
The Beginnings In 1189, three centuries before
the current house was built, the manor of Little Mitton was grant ed to Sir Ralphe de Little Mitton and a home constructed on the site. In 1309, it became the property of Alan de Catterall and remained the home of the Catterall family for over two centuries. Mitton Hall as we now know it
was built by Ralph de Catterall in 1487. Over the following centuries it passed to several eminent local fam ilies: the Sherbornes of Stonyhurst, the Beaumonts and then the Aspinalls of Standen Hall. During the Second World War,
the hall was used to house officers of the Third Field Training Regiment and dances were held in the upstairs ballroom. In the latter part of the 20th Cen
tury, the house ceased to be used as a private residence and was convert ed into, firstly, a club and, later, a hotel and restaurant.

Hall is the magnificent oak-pan elled Great Hall, which the cele brated historian of Whalley, the Rev. T. D. Whitaker, described as "one of the finest Gothic rooms that I have ever seen in a private house". Along with a painted glass bay
window, the room features a beauti- fullv carved screen set nut in nanels
on which are 10 heads, male and female, placed within medallions with the inscription D.H.T.H.T.H. The lettering appears to come
from the reign of Edward VI and Whitaker concludes that these must have been brought over by the Holts of Grislehurst, who owned the estate in the 18th Century. A minstrels’ gallery runs eight
feet above the floor, and the West wall features an original stone fire place and contains a priest hole that was only discovered relatively recently in 1874.
Outside the House The Tudor custom of building
houses to face south means that Mitton Hall looked on to marsh land and has its best views from the back. Behind the house are 15 acres of
gardens with stone terraces and staircases leading down to the River Ribble, and forming part of what the historian R.D. Ainsworth described as "one of the prettiest landscapes in the Ribble Valley". For many years the grounds were
a celebrated feature of the estate, with rose gardens, vegetable gar dens and greenhouses, and it was only in the second half of the 20th Century that they became over grown.
Stories of the House A house as old as Mitton Hall
may choose to keep to itself much of what it has witnessed over the years, but there are certain intrigu
ing associations that we can be sure about. For instance, in the more modern
part of the house is an old oak door with a brass plate recording that it was formerly the vestry door of All Hallows, Bread St, London. This is the church where the poet Milton was baptised in 1608. How the church door came from London to Mitton Hall is a story that, unfor tunately, has been lost to time. Popular accounts of ghostly
sightings in Mitton Hall abound, and many are from people who have worked in the house in recent times. There appear to be at least three - resident ghosts, including the Grey Lady and a maid who was, appar ently, found hanging from the min strels' gallery in the Great Hall. Whether she hung herself or was murdered remains a mvsterv. The
house has seen its share of tragedies and, perhaps, we should not be sur prised that some of those who lived and died at Mitton Hall have cho sen, for whatever reason, to stay around...
Mitton Village William Howitt described Mitton
village as "one of the most perfect 'Nooks of the World'". As well as the confluence of rivers, Mitton boasts a medieval church dating back to 1270, and holds the tombs of the Sherbornes of Stonyhurst. I t seems surprising that a village
as small as Mitton was historically divided between two counties, Lan cashire and Yorkshire. Mitton Hall being on the Lancashire side, in Lit tle Mitton, separated from Great Mitton by the picturesque Mitton Bridge. The historic bridge was used dur
ing the Civil War, when Oliver Cromwell dashed over it in order to get to Whalley. This took place just before the Battle of Preston when Whalley was guarded by two squadrons of dragoons, so that the Royalists could not attack Cromwell's rearguard. Although the parish churches of
Mitton and Whalley are only three miles apart, there was little connec tion between the two villages. The River Ribble in this part of its course has always formed a bound ary. Whalley used to be in the dio cese of Lichfield and the province of Canterbury; Mitton was in the arch-diocese of York. Great rivalry could flare up
between the two villages. In the 14th Century, Alan de Catterall, who owned a stake in Mitton Hall, fell into an acrimonious dispute with the Abbot of Whalley over the tenure of Whalley fields. After Cat- terall's death, the battle continued to be fought by his widow who, together with her sons, is recorded as turning away the Abbot when he came to collect her tithes. The result of the dispute is unknown. In the early years of the 19th
Century, Mitton Bridge was rebuilt, to take the place of a ferry that was still in use in 1810. Later on, from 1831 to 1871, the
bridge was the pivotal point for the infamous otter hunts of Squire Lomax of Clayton Hall. His hounds were renowned throughout
the area. I
