Standish Hall, Historical building in Standish, Greater Manchester, England
The 16th-century mansion exhibited an H-shaped layout with wattle and daub construction, including multiple wings added through subsequent centuries.
Built in 1573, Standish Hall served as the residence of the Standish family until the 1820s when it was leased to Thomas Darwell, Mayor of Wigan.
The hall maintained a secret Catholic mass tradition during the English Reformation, with special signals using black cat ornaments to indicate religious gatherings.
While the original structure no longer stands, four wood-paneled interiors from Standish Hall remain preserved, with three relocated to the United States.
The property featured a protective moat until 1780, when it was filled in as part of modifications to the estate grounds.
