Gawthorpe Textiles Collection
Gawthorpe Textiles Collection is an internationally renowned collection of global textiles located in the heart of Pennine Lancashire.
Founded by the Honourable Rachel Kay-Shuttleworth (1886-1967) the collection was amassed to educate, inspire creativity, support wellbeing and to preserve traditional craft skills by sharing knowledge, skills and expertise across cultures.
The Collection is an accredited museum and independent registered charity with an ambition to develop a centre of excellence for textile learning based on its collection of over 30,000 items, one of the largest textile collections in the UK and the only collection of its kind in Lancashire. The majority of the collection is available to view and study by appointment only, but a selection of items can be seen on display at Gawthorpe Hall.
