Wardley Hall

 

This hall is now the home of the Roman Catholic Bishop of Salford.
In this hall there is a human skull situated in a small aperture at the top of the staircase of Blessed Ambrose Barlow, who was a priest during the reign of William III. He was hung, drawn and quartered at Lancaster on September 10th 1641, and his head was taken to a relative, living at Wardley Hall to be preserved as a relic of his martyrdom.

Built circa 1500. 
Restored and altered in the 19th century.
