100 years of Astley Hall Although the building itself is much older and dates back to the 16th century, it was 1924 when Astley Hall first opened its doors to the public. It had been gifted to the people of Chorley by Reginald Arthur Tatton as a memorial to the men who had died in World War One in 1922 and over the two-year period that followed the house was turned into a museum and art gallery. The team at Astley Hall are celebrating this year with a series of events and a special “Astley Memories” project. This collection of local stories and experiences will showcase how the Hall has impacted people over the last century. The 1st and 2nd of June will see a special weekend of events taking place in and around the Hall to celebrate the occasion too.
