Sugworth Hall

The hall is a Grade II listed building which stands within the Peak District National Park at a height of 984 feet (300 m) above sea level.

The exact date of construction of Sugworth Hall is unknown, English Heritage and some publications list it as 17th century but it was first mentioned in the will and testament of Robert Hawksworth who was the resident of a building on the site in the 1560s.

[1] It is likely that the hall looked completely different at that time with the core of the building being considerably reworked in the 19th century.

After the death of Robert Hawksworth the hall passed to his son Henry who was known to be living there in 1585 along with his mother.

[4] The hall is constructed from squared sandstone and gritstone with a stone slate roof with ashlar stacks.
