  • Large Print Guide General History Ordsall Hall Has Had a Varied and Interesting History
    Large Print Guide General History Ordsall Hall has had a varied and interesting history. It has been a self-sufficient estate, a family home, a Working Men’s Club and a Clergy Training School and has been associated with many prominent people and events throughout its life. Unlike many old halls that have fallen victim to new developments, Ordsall Hall has survived. In 1959, Ordsall Hall was the subject of a council vote about whether or not to save it from demolition. 30 councillors voted to save it, 18 voted to pull it down - with one opposition speaker describing it as “a heap of rubbish.” In 1959, it was purchased by Salford Corporation from the executors of Baron Egerton of Tatton. Following major restoration work, it was opened to the public in April 1972 and was restored in 2009. The Hall is Grade I listed because parts of the building fabric and spaces from the mid- 1300s survive. Ordsall was part of the Manor of Salford at the time of the Norman Conquest (1066). The name first appears in written records in 1177 when ‘Ordeshala’ paid two marks towards an aid, feudal due or tax. There was a probably a house at Ordsall by 1251 when William de Ferrers, Earl of Derby, exchanged the manor for land in Pendleton which belonged to David de Hulton. The manor of Ordsall was bequeathed to Sir John Radclyffe in 1335 by the childless Richard de Hulton. The Radclyffes of Ordsall were an important and influential local family. Sir John Radclyffe distinguished himself in Edward III’s military campaign to establish the King’s claim to the French crown.
