Ordsall Hall is a former manor house in a historic parish that dates back to the 15th century. Once belonging to the Radclyffe family, the hall has been used as a clergy school, a working men’s club and a radio station before becoming a period home and history museum.

The manor house is a source of local lore and legend. It’s rumoured to have been the location where Guy Fawkes planned the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 with Robert Catesby and his route of escape through a tunnel. The house is also rumoured to be haunted by the White Lady, the ghost of Margaret Radclyffe.

Highlights of Ordsall Hall

Ordsall Hall is a Tudor mansion that once had a moat. Several parts date back to the 13th century, but the Radclyffe family acquired the home around 1355. The current house features a timber-framed south range from the 15th century and a brick west range from the 17th century. The house is believed to have underground tunnels that lead into Manchester.

When you visit the house, you can tour the Great Hall, Kitchen, Star Chamber and Great Chamber, or you can spend your time wandering the formal gardens. In the rooms, you’ll see period furnishings and interpretive boards to learn more about the history.
