carving and painting in Parrox Hall

Gallery

The library at Parrox Hall contains a large collection of photographs, showing life at Parrox and in the Over Wyre district during the last century. We present a selection of them here and will be adding more at regular intervals in the future. If you have any photographs that you think others might be interested to see, please contact us at info@parroxhall.co.uk.
