Moseley Old Hall is a small 17th-century country house in Cheadle, Greater Manchester, England (Grid reference Script error: No such module "Ordnance Survey coordinates".).

History

The construction date of the hall is uncertain, although there is an inscription carved into the doorway, reading, 'R.M. 1663'.[1] The hall was built for Sir Nicholas Moseley on an open woodland plot;[2] it is now at the end of a suburban road.

It was reputed that Bonnie Prince Charlie visited the hall in the 1740s during the Jacobite rebellion.[3]

In the early 1900s, a significant deal took place in the morning room of the hall, ensuring the future of Newton Heath Football Club, which would later become known as Manchester United.[4]

It was designated a Grade II* listed building on 24 March 1950.[1][5]

Having been listed on Historic England's Heritage at Risk Register in 2019 due to structural issues,[2] the hall came off the register in 2024 after undergoing restoration.[6]
