All you ever wanted to know about Hough End Hall ……… But never knew who to ask …. The talk today

 Join me to celebrate the birthday of Hough End Hall today with Chorlton Good Neighbours. *

Happy birthday, Hough End Hall

Of course, I can’t be exactly sure that today 429 years ago Sir Nicholas Mosley threw open the doors to family, friends, and assorted guests but it will do for me.

Over an hour and a bit accompanied with heaps of pictures and maps there will be stories of the Elizabethan Hall including a special present from the first Queen Elizabeth, tales of avaricious land grabs, and dissolute family members, mixed with tales from its days as a farm and culminating with memories of a place for scary adventures and later of nights of good food amongst friends.

The birthday celebrations begin at 1.30pm, hosted by Chorlton Good Neighbours in St Wilbraham Ninians Church on Egerton Road South, today October 14th.
