You have to explain to me how a house dating back to the English Civil War is Elizabethan. 4.249.15.192 (talk) 11:59, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article states: '"Pronounced "GAW-thrup".' Who made this up? No-one pronounces it that way. This assertion needs support. 80.7.246.179 (talk) 16:42, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Gawthorpe new.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on December 11, 2010. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2010-12-11. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng {chat} 17:26, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Gawthorpe Hall is an Elizabethan house in Padiham, in the borough of Burnley, Lancashire, England. It was originally a pele tower, a strong square structure built in the 14th century as a defence against the invading Scots. Around 1600 a Jacobean mansion was dovetailed around the pele, but in 1850 Sir Charles Barry, who later designed the Houses of Parliament, redesigned it to its current state.Photo: Childzy
