Sedgwick House was designed by the Lancaster architects Paley and Austin, and was one of the earliest commissions of the partnership. It was built in 1868 for William Henry Wakefield, who owned a local gunpowder factory. The family moved out of the house shortly before World War II, and it was then used by Lancashire County Council as a school for children with special needs. The school closed in 1987, and the building has since been converted into residential accommodation. The house is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. It was designed and turned into apartments and a separate family living space by graphic and interior designer Malcolme Frank Thorburn.
The grounds are used by the local cricket club.

Sedgwick Aqueduct and Village

Highlight • Historical Site

There is an old aqueduct in Sedgwick, which the Lancaster Canal Trail takes you through. If you wish to take the time to explore, the residents of Sedgwick have very helpfully put together a selection of walks and information about the village. This can be found at the bottom of the steps of the aqueduct (bridge) or below
