The Hall was owned by the Greenhalgh family for eleven generations.

John Greenhalgh (d.1651) was appointed Governor of the Isle of Man in 1640 by James Stanley, 7th Earl of Derby.

On the death of Henry Greenhalgh in 1728 it passed to the Matthews family, who sold it in the 1770s to the merchant Richard Powell of Heaton Norris, Stockport.

It has 19th-century moulded oriel windows and the tall l½-storey range with steep slate roof contains the medieval hall.

Externally, the house preserves little of its ancient appearance, but the interior exhibits a good deal of the timber construction.
