Hopwood Hall, English country house in Rochdale, England.

The two-story brick and stone manor house features approximately 50,000 square feet of space built in a quadrangle around a timber-framed central hall.

The Hopwood family held the estate from the 12th century until 1922, when the death of two heirs in World War I led to its closure.

The basement of the hall transformed into a music venue where notable bands such as Black Sabbath and UB40 performed during its time as De La Salle College.

The Grade II* listed building currently undergoes restoration work through funding from Historic England and Rochdale Council to address structural deterioration.

The hall contains a Jacobean fireplace carving of a lion that resembles a monkey, suggesting the artist created it without seeing an actual lion.
