Clayton Hall
Clayton Hall is a 15th-century manor house on Ashton New Road in Clayton, Manchester, England, hidden behind trees in a small park. The hall is a Grade II* listed building, the mound on which it is built is a scheduled ancient monument, and a rare example of a medieval moated site (grid reference SJ88099857). The hall is surrounded by a moat, making an island 66 by 74 metres (217 by 243 ft). Alterations were made to the hall in the 16th and 17th centuries, and it was enlarged in the 18th century.
