'The present Haigh Hall, built between 1827 and 1840 by James Lindsay, 7th Earl of Balcarres, replaced an ancient manor house and was his family's home until 1947 when it was sold to Wigan Council. The hall is managed as a conference centre and wedding venue by Wigan Leisure and Culture Trust on behalf of the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan.' Source acknowledgement Wikipedia.
