History

Dunkenhalgh was established in the late-18th century. In 1786, the parkland was noted on a map by Yates. The 2nd Edition Ordnance Survey map (1912) shows that a woodland belt and formal gardens were added to the property. In the mid-20th century, Dunkenhalgh house was converted into a hotel.
