Do you know where you can find three very different objects that say so much about the history of the world?

The answer is Towneley Hall.

Call in to see the stunning medieval Whalley Abbey Vestments kept safe since the dissolution of the monastries, General Scarlett’s sword from the successful Charge of the Heavy Brigade at Balaclava and a rare Peruvian Chachapoyan Huaco a human shaped burial object dating from the 8th century.
