Picture of the day

The front of Gawthorpe Hall, near Padiham, England. The Elizabethan house dates back to 1600 and was built around a pele tower. In 1850, Sir Charles Barry redesigned the house. Until 1970, Gawthorpe Hall was owned by the Kay-Shuttleworth family. Now owned by the National Trust, the house is open to the public and contains displays of historical artefacts.Photo credit: Childzy
