Baguley Hall West Midlands attractions map Wythenshaw, Greater Manchester Early 14th century timber-framed house. Original arched doorways. Timber braces in the form of St. Andrew's crosses. Half-timbered courtyard, impressive gatehouse, and no less than two churches. The Throckmortons were heavily involved in the Gunpowder Plot.
Great hall remains unaltered.
Lovely half-timbered manor begun about 1460. The medieval kitchen is especially well preserved, and there is a display in the west wing detailing the history of the building and its restoration. Built in the late 15th century, defended by a gatehouse, moat and wall. Great hall, beautiful oriel windows, vaulted porch, ornate fireplace. Look for the spy-holes high in the walls of the hall.
