Welcome to the Quality Hotel
Chorley The Quality Hotel Chorley is located near the delightful village of
Croston and just a short drive from Preston Lancashire, and the M6. It offers
easy access to visit the resort of Blackpool and Southport, whilst the Camelot
Adventure Theme Park is only a five minute drive away. The Quality Hotel
Chorley is situated in what was Gradwell farm, in the parish of Ulnes Walton.
It was named after a Norwegian seafarer who ventured up the River Ribble and
eventually into the River Lostock. He could get no further than Littlewood
Farm, next door and build a large barn, similar to the one at Rivington, which
is still there. The earliest record to be found at the Preston Records Office
is Ulf de Walton, who arrived in what is now known as Ulnes Walton, in 1160
A.D. The delightful village of Croston was a market town of old and was far
more important in those days than Preston. Gradwell's was used as a catholic
seminary for Jesuit priests during

The Farm house
itself, is of considerable historical interest. Most of the present building
dates back to about 1700, but a house stood here in the time of Elizabeth I,
owned by the staunchly Catholic, 'Gradwell' family. The initials of William
Gradwell, the first of the line, still adorn the front of the building. The
house is grade II listed building, having undergone an estimated £100,000 worth
of much needed restoration work. The 'Grey Lady' or 'Sarascoe Lady' is a fable,
which tells us that she was a servant at Gradwell's. She is reputed to have
fallen in love with the house chaplain and upon his death, committed suicide in
the well just outside the entrance to William Gradwells Bar. (Now covered over,
but still there). Her story links the house, and farm, with another just half a
mile away called Sarscowe farm, from which she gets her popular name. It also
commemorates, in a way of which its earlier occupants would be hardly likely to
approve, some of the Gradwells' most celebrated and notorious occupants -
priests, and other adamant adherents to the Roman Catholic faith. Gradwell farm
was the home, until recently, of the royal umpire coach museum, and is still
often referred to as such by the locals and in older works of reference. The
sadly missed exhibition of carriages, coaches and vintage cars, built around
the famous Royal Umpire Stagecoach, was said to be one of the best collections
of horse drawn vehicles in the country, Unfortunately, it closed down in 1980,
despite the best efforts of its dedicated owner and creator, Mr Martin Kevill.
It was at this time that the shippen part of the farm was turned into a
restaurant, called the 'Clansman'. It featured tartan, rough brick and plaster
decor, with numerous farming artifacts. One end of the restaurant had a
minstrels gallery, where you could sit and have drinks. The massive open fire
place and flagged floor added to the ambiance of the restaurant. Some of the
fields were then turned into the 'Ro
