The gorgeous Tudor hall an hour from Manchester perfect for a family day out AFF
Tucked away off the A59 in the village of Rufford, is an old Tudor house which offers visitors a glimpse into a different time. With a charming black and white timber-framed exterior and a wonderfully ornate interior, Rufford Old Hall is a magical place to visit.
Built for Sir Robert Hesketh in around 1530, the hall was originally based on an ‘H’ plan although the west wing has since gone. Over the centuries additions have been built on the house in a sympathetic Tudor Gothic style. You can’t help but be blown away stepping into the Great Hall where the walls are adorned in wooden carvings. Inside this room is the hall’s ornate free-standing carved screen, which was built in around 1530-40 and is the only one of its kind to have survived intact.
The grounds at Rufford Old Hall are just as impressive. Enjoy a relaxed stroll through the orchard or walk along the towering beech trees in the paddock.
