Ryecroft Hall is a Grade II listed building in Audenshaw, Tameside, Greater Manchester.
Originally a home to several prominent local residents, the hall was ultimately donated to the people of Audenshaw by Austin Hopkinson in 1922 and still serves the local community to the present day.
[1] The land that Ryecroft Hall sits on was once owned by the Earl of Stamford and Warrington and was sold to prominent mill owner James Smith Buckley.
Audenshaw council would ultimately be subsumed by Tameside Council and they currently own the hall which is used by the local community to this very day, as a testament to its history there are two blue plaques on the side of the building.
One is of Austin Hopkinson who donated the hall and the other is of Harry Norton Schofield who was awarded the Victoria Cross in the Boer War.
