About: Clegg Hall

An Entity of Type: architectural structure, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

Clegg Hall is a Grade II* listed 17th-century hall in Littleborough, Greater Manchester (grid reference SD92231448). It is situated just outside Smithy Bridge, Greater Manchester. The "Clegg" in the name of the current hall refers to the location (Little Clegg or Great Clegg) rather than the local family by the same surname – the house was built by Theophilus Ashton (1584–1621) in the early 17th century, and it has never been suggested that the house has been lived in by Cleggs. It appears to be on the site of an earlier Clegg Hall(s) whose occupants were Cleggs.

  • Clegg Hall is a Grade II* listed 17th-century hall in Littleborough, Greater Manchester (grid reference SD92231448). It is situated just outside Smithy Bridge, Greater Manchester. The "Clegg" in the name of the current hall refers to the location (Little Clegg or Great Clegg) rather than the local family by the same surname – the house was built by Theophilus Ashton (1584–1621) in the early 17th century, and it has never been suggested that the house has been lived in by Cleggs. It appears to be on the site of an earlier Clegg Hall(s) whose occupants were Cleggs. According to Oakley's highly romanticised version, the first known Cleggs, Bernulf (and his wife Quernilda) de Clegg were in the Domesday book, though they are more commonly said to date to King Stephen's reign (1135–1154). That would seem sensible dating from the names, as they are all Anglo Saxon apart from the "de" which is a Norman addition, typical of the period before Norman Christian names became common. Clegg Hall was designated a Grade II* listed building in 1951. (en)
