Hyde Hall, Denton

Hyde Hall is a late 16th-century farmhouse on Town Lane in Tameside, built with timber frame and brick exterior. The structure originally formed part of a larger courtyard group that included several outbuildings, which also received Grade II listing protection.

The hall was built in the late 16th century as a working farmhouse. During the English Civil War in 1642, Robert Hyde, who lived there, gathered troops to support the Parliamentarian cause in the Manchester area.

The building carries an inscription beneath the Hyde coat of arms from 1625, reflecting how wealthy families expressed their status through their homes. This carved detail tells you about the values and priorities of the people who lived there during that time.

The building is in poor condition with partial roof failure causing interior damage. Because of its state, access may be restricted and visitors should check locally before attempting to view the structure.

The property was originally part of a larger working farm with multiple outbuildings, some of which still stand today. These additional structures show how extensive agricultural operations were in this part of England during that time.
