Hough End Hall is a historic house now in Chorlton-cum-Hardy (originally in Withington[1]), Manchester, England. It was built in 1596 during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I by Sir Nicholas Mosley (c. 1527 – 1612), when he became Lord of the Manor of Manchester and of the dependent Manor of Withington (Chorlton-cum-Hardy was at the time a township within the Manor of Withington). The Mosleys were an influential Mancunian family from the 16th century onwards, and prominent in the affairs of the Manchester district for two and a half centuries.
