caption_attribution_description: English: The Great Barn and coach House, Gawthorpe Hall.
context_page_description: Gawthorpe Hall is an Elizabethan country house on the banks of the River Calder, in the civil parish of Ightenhill in the Borough of Burnley, Lancashire, England. Its estate extends into Padiham, with the Stockbridge Drive entrance situated there. Since 1953 it has been designated a grade I listed building. The hall is financed and run by the National Trust in partnership with Lancashire County Council. In 2015 the Hall was given £500,000 funding from Lancashire County Council for vital restoration work needed on the south and west sides of the house.
context_section_description: The small ornamental garden, created in the early 1850s, was laid out on a terrace overlooking the River Calder at the rear of the house by Charles Barry, the man most notable for his responsibility in the rebuilding of the House of Parliament. The semicircular terrace wall is Grade II listed. The course of the river was diverted away from Gawthorpe Hall in the 19th century because of pollution and again diverted to accommodate an open cast coal scheme north of the river in Padiham in the 1960s. Unfortunately World War II brought many hardships to the Kay-Shuttleworth family. Finding the garden becoming too difficult to keep up, the Kay-Shuttleworth family had it removed in 1946.  Despite the gardens removal some many decades ago, the layout of the garden is still quite visible, especially during the summer months when the climate is dry. 
  Other listed buildings associated with the hall are the Great Barn (built 1602–04), the old farmhouse  (1605–06, now used as the estate offices), the game larder, the coach house (1870), and the lodges and gateways on Habergham and Stockbridge drives (both c.1849).
  Burnley F.C. have trained at a centre in the grounds since the 1950s.
  Gawthorpe is one of the trailheads of the Brontë Way, a 43-mile (69 km) long-distance footpath that crosses the South Pennines to Haworth, continuing to Oakwell Hall, Birstall, West Yorkshire.
