Hough End Hall

Hough End Hall is a late 16th‑century house on Nell Lane in Chorlton-cum-Hardy, originally part of the township of Withington in Manchester, England. Built in 1596 for Sir Nicholas Mosley after he became Lord of the Manor of Manchester and of Withington, it is one of the few surviving manor houses of its period in the area. The Mosley family remained influential locally for several centuries. The building has had varied uses over time, including as a toolhouse, a blacksmith's shop and a farmhouse, and has undergone substantial alteration. By the early 20th century many original fittings had been removed, and the surrounding estate later formed part of Alexandra Park Aerodrome between 1917 and 1924. Hough End Hall was designated a Grade II* listed building in 1952. The hall now stands within a landscape of modern development and public recreational facilities. In 2015 it was purchased by a local group and is currently used as an academy and mosque.
