Baguley Hall is a medieval stone and timber-framed building in Manchester made from stone, brick, and slate materials. The structure features large wooden beams and vertical posts arranged in an L-shaped layout that forms its core framework.
The building was constructed in the mid-14th century under Sir William de Baguley at a site showing signs of earlier settlement from the 11th century. The location held importance for the local family across many generations.
The hall shows medieval English building design through its arched doorways and decorative wooden panels in the porch area. Visitors can see how craftspeople invested care in details that still stand today.
Access to the building is currently limited as Historic England carries out maintenance and preservation work. Visitors should check ahead before planning a visit as availability may be restricted.
Inside the building are specialized medieval carpentry techniques including a sphere truss at one end and an arch-braced open truss between the central bays. These construction methods show the skilled knowledge of that era.
