[1] The village, which is north-west of Garstang, has an agricultural college, and the Duchy of Lancaster has an estate here. This includes the local pub, the Patten Arms. It is home to the great manor of Winmarleigh Hall. Constructed to the order of the Duchy of Lancaster, it was given to the first Lord Winmarleigh.

Estate

The Winmarleigh Estate is an estate of the Duchy of Lancaster holding as part of The Lancashire Survey. [4] The estate holds ownership to the Patten Arms pub. [5]

In March 2011, ten estate farms were offered to the tenant farmers for purchase as a part of a Duchy re-balancing asset plan to reduce its rural assets. [5] Six of the farms were close to closing by June 2012 to their tenant farmers while New Hall Farm's tenant wished to retire. Also a portion of the estate was transferred to the Village Hall Committee as it's adjacent to the Hall and is used for recreation. [6]
