Wardley Hall is an early medieval manor house and a Grade I listed building in the Wardley area of Worsley, Salford, in Greater Manchester (historically within Lancashire).[1] There has been a moat on the site since at least 1292. The current hall dates from around 1500 but was extensively rebuilt in the 19th and 20th centuries. The 1894 restoration was carried out by John Douglas.[2] The building is timber framed with a slate roof.[1]
The skull of St Ambrose Barlow, one of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales, is preserved in a niche at the top of the main staircase.[3] He was hanged, drawn and quartered at Lancaster on 10 September 1641 after confessing to being a Catholic priest.
Wardley Hall is the official residence of the Roman Catholic Bishop of Salford.
