Morleys Hall, Historic mansion in Astley, England
Morleys Hall features a U-shaped design with projecting wings, built from brick with slate roofing and incorporating timber framing throughout the structure.
The hall dates back to the 13th century when documents mentioned More-Leghe, passing through several families including the Leylands and Tyldesleys until 1755.
The Tyldesley family maintained Catholic practices at the hall during the Reformation period, allowing priests to minister to local Catholic residents.
Located at coordinates 53.48914 latitude and -2.46931 longitude, Morleys Hall received its Grade II* listed building designation on July 18, 1966.
The structure stands on a rectangular moated island fed by a natural spring, combining medieval defensive features with later architectural modifications.
