What similarities and differences can we find between our life and Lady Alice Towneley’s? 

The Townley family are an English family who lived at Towneley Hall in Burnley, Lancashire, from around 1295. It was the family home until its sale, together with the surrounding park, to the corporation of Burnley in 1901.
Towneley Hall was opened to the public in 1902 and is now a large museum and art gallery, housing lots of artefacts from the past.

Alice Towneley was the third daughter of Charles Towneley (1803-1876). She married Thomas O'Hagan, 1st Lord O'Hagan, in 1871. She was given a part of the Towneley Estate including Towneley Hall in 1885.

Lady Alice O'Hagan (1846–1921)

This is Lady Alice O’Hagan who sold Towneley Hall to Burnley council.
