Eaves Hall
Eaves Hall was built in 1864 for John Burton (1809–1879), first son of James Burton and a wealthy cotton mill-owner.[1]
Sold by the Burtons in 1938,[2] having been let since the end of 1904,[3] it became a hotel for senior civil servants. The current owner, as of 2023, is James Warburton,[4] a local entrepreneur who owns a number of hotels in Lancashire and Yorkshire including the Emporium and Holmes Mill in Clitheroe. It is now, primarily, a wedding venue.[1]
