A rather splendid public building in the village of Glusburn. Built over a period of years between 1892 and 1911 [when the clock tower and dome were added] for Sir John Horsfall, local mill owner and benefactor. The building housed an auditorium with stage, dining and reading rooms, a swimming pool and a Baptist chapel.
