Browsholme Hall This glorious 16th-century house has been the home of the Parker family ever since it was first built in 1507. It remains a private home, though is occasionally open to the public.

The current owner, Robert Parker, inherited the property in the 1980s from a relative (his first cousin four times removed), whose will made it clear that the house should go to someone bearing the surname Parker, so disinheriting his sisters and their offspring.
