history

Robert Welch , a Liverpool merchant who lived in High House in Leck , bought the Thurland Castle property in 1771 , but his son Robert sold all of the land except what is now the Leck Hall property. After the death of Robert Welch, his brother George Welch commissioned the architect John Carr to design and build a new house to replace the High House . This house was later called Leak Hall. In the years 1830 and again in 1963 the house was rebuilt.

In 1952 Charles Kay-Shuttleworth, 4th Baron Shuttleworth bought Leck Hall and moved there from Gawthorpe Hall in 1970. Today's owner is Charles Kay-Shuttleworth, 5th Baron Shuttleworth .
