Dunkenhalgh, Grade II listed manor house in Clayton-le-Moors, England.

The sandstone building features a T-shaped plan with two storeys, an embattled entrance front containing five asymmetrical bays, and towers with crow-stepped parapets.

Roger de Dunkenhalgh constructed the original house in the late 12th century, which passed through the Rishton family and Walmesley family before becoming a hotel in 1947.

The Portrait Room displays numerous family paintings that document the generations of noble families who inhabited this Lancashire country estate through the centuries.

The former stable block, situated 20 meters east of the main building, has been transformed into staff quarters for the current Mercure Hotel operation.

A circular glass lantern crowns the structure, while the east tower incorporates distinctive crow-stepped parapets that reflect architectural influences from northern Britain.
