Shibden Hall is a Grade II listed historic house dating back to about 1420. For more than 300 years (1619 to 1926) the Shibden estate was in the hands of the Lister family, wealthy mill-owners and cloth merchants, the most famous resident being Anne Lister (1791â1840), who has been described as being the "first modern lesbian" due to her "love... [of] the fairer sex" that she documented in her diaries.
