Ordsall Hall

Ordsall Hall is a mansion in Salford featuring timber framing, carved oak details, and leaded windows that show different building phases from the 14th century onward. The rooms spread across multiple floors and blend older wooden structures with elements added in later centuries.

The building started as a home in the 14th century and belonged to the Radclyffe family for more than 300 years. In the 17th century, this long period of family ownership ended, and the property passed to different owners.

The spaces serve as venues for exhibitions and events that show how people lived and worked during the Tudor period. Visitors can see how each room was used and what daily life looked like for the families who called it home.

You can walk through the rooms on multiple levels, so wear comfortable shoes for exploring. Information panels in each area help explain the history and details of what you are seeing.

The house is known for reported supernatural occurrences, including sightings linked to a former resident. An online camera lets visitors search for signs of these events from home.
