Details
WORSLEY WALKDEN ROAD SD 70 SW (west side) 1/60 Worsley Old Hall 29/7/66 - II
House, now conference centre and restaurant. C17 (probably early) timber-framed structure largely rebuilt in brick and greatly extended in 1855, 1891 and 1906. Brick largely rendered, some extensions in C19 timber-framing and graduated stone slate and slate roofs. 6-bay 2-storey main range which was added to at rear. Rendered front has C19 porch and door in bay 4. 2 projecting brick chimney stacks with diagonally set shafts and a C17 gabled 2-storey bay in bay 7 marking the upper end of the hall. It is timber- framed with ovolo-moulded corner posts, 3-light mullion and transom casements on each foor and carved brackets supporting the jettied first floor. The gable is coved. The other bays have 3 or 4-light mullion and transom casements many retaining glazing bars. The right return also displays original timber-framing, the theme being continued in a C19 wing which projects behind and is jettied out above a stone canted bay window. Additions to left and rear of 1 and 2 storeys of C19 and C20. The rear is largely rendered and has various casement and sash windows. Interior: the hall has beams supported on posts which extend through 2 floors. Beams and posts are ovolo-moulded and formed the basis of the timber-framed structure which from the shape of the first floor ceiling would appear to have interesting cambered tie-beam roof trusses. The first floor rooms have a bolection-moulded fire surround and overmantel in timber and C17 bolection-moulded fielded oak panelling. Vaulted brick cellar. Some old features are said to have come from Hulme Hall after demolition. C19 internal features are not without interest. Seat of the Egerton family and home of James Brindley and the 3rd Duke of Bridgewater during the construction of the Bridgewater canal.
