A number of important families associated with Halifax have called Shibden their home. From the first identified landowner, William Oates in 1420, to its most famous resident Anne Lister, through to it’s last resident John Lister, who lived at the Hall until it became a museum in 1934.
Today the house is a public museum giving visitors a glimpse through centuries of history reflected in its architecture and the collections on display.
