Description: | Near Manchester. This Hall was built in the 14th century, and is remarkable as the abode of one, at least, of the conspirators in the Guy Fawkes plot. It is built of wood and plaster. The most striking features of this, the north front, are its immense bay windows; that the Drawing-room, on the left, is slightly twisted. It was originally the seat of the Radcliffes of Radcliffe Tower, and in the reign of Edward I was held by Sir John Radcliffe, and remained in the possession of his descendants for a long time.
