Baguley Hall

Baguley Hall is believed to occupy the site of an earlier hall house dating back to the 11th or 12th century. Archaeological excavations in the 1980s uncovered remains of an aisled timber hall from that period. The current hall was constructed in the early 14th century by Sir William de Baguley, and possibly completed by his descendants, including Sir William Legh. In the 15th century, a timber-framed north wing was added, replacing earlier tithe barns. The 16th century saw the addition of a timber-framed porch on the west side. A brick-built south wing replaced an earlier chamber block in the late 17th century, and the north wing was rebuilt in brick during the 18th century.
