This is Lancashire recommends a walk 'around one of Lancashire's most magnificent Tudor mansions', that is, Gawthorpe Hall.
It was built from 1600-1606 on a manorial site associated with the Shuttleworth family since medieval times. James Kay Shuttleworth funded the building of All Saints Church, Habergham in 1845.
Habergham Eaves was its own rural township between the growing textile towns of Padiham and Burnley and Gawthorpe Hall has Brontë connections with Charlotte Bronte regularly visiting the house in the 19th century.
The Brontë Way long distance path actually ends here having crossed the Pennines from West Yorkshire. The walk also includes a section of the Burnley Way footpath.
If by 'regularly visiting' you mean that she visited it twice for two short visits, then that's right. Actually, it was during her last visit there, accompanied by Arthur Bell Nicholls, that she supposedly got the 'cold' that began her last illness (supposedly hyperemesis gravidarum).

The Guardian has an obituary for actress Jennie Stoller, who, towards the end of the 1960s,
worked in rep, in Coventry (where she appeared in Jane Eyre directed by Bill Bryden) (Michael Coveney)
According to Diario 16 (Spain), Spanish journalist/writer Marta Robles never gets tired of recommending Wuthering Heights.
