Gisburne Park, Lancashire. Walled Garden Assessment

Oxford Archaeology North (OA North) was commissioned by Covenant Health Care, in
conjunction with Manning Elliott Architects, to undertake an archaeological assessment of a
walled garden at Gisburne Park (SD 825498), in advance of the construction of a proposed
hospital extension. Gisburne Hall was built by the Lister family between 1727 and 1736, it
was finally sold off in 1944 and in 1995 the building was converted into an independent
private hospital. The documentary study was undertaken between 13th and 16th March, and
the site investigation was undertaken on 21st March.
