Clayton Hall is a 15th-century manor house on Ashton New Road in Clayton, Manchester, England, hidden behind trees in a small park.[1] The hall is a Grade II* listed building,[2] the mound on which it is built is a scheduled ancient monument, and a rare example of a medieval moated site (grid reference SJ88099857).[3] The hall is surrounded by a moat, making an island 66 by 74 metres (217 by 243 ft).[3] Alterations were made to the hall in the 16th and 17th centuries, and it was enlarged in the 18th century.[2]
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.
