Clayton Hall

Clayton Hall is a 15th-century manor house on Ashton New Road in Clayton, Manchester, England, hidden behind trees in a small park. The hall is a Grade II* listed building, the mound on which it is built is a scheduled ancient monument, and a rare example of a medieval moated site. The hall is surro

unded by a moat, making an island 66 by 74 metres (217 by 243 ft). Alterations were made to the hall in the 16th and 17th centuries, and it was enlarged in the 18th century. The building has Georgian and Tudor sections which form the remaining western wing of a once larger complex. The hall is reached across the moat over a listed stone bridge, thought to be dated around the late 17th century.
