Hough Hall, Moston, Manchester
HOUGH HALL was lived in by a family named Halgh or Hough. The last of the line, Captain Robert Hough, took the King's side in the Civil War and had his estate sequestered. It was purchased in 1685 by James Lightbowne, and soon afterwards passed to the Minshulls of Chorlton. In or soon after 1774 it was purchased by Samuel Taylor, by whose representative it was sold about 1880 to the late Robert Ward.

The hall has been a Grade II listed building since 1974.

Hough Hall is a timber and plaster house two storeys high standing on the south side of Moston Lane a little way back from the road. The building has been much restored and the interior is wholly modernized, but the outside retains a good deal of its ancient appearance, though all the windows are new and some of its original features have been lost. The house appears to belong to the end of the 16th or beginning of the 17th century, but has no date or inscription to confirm this.

Currently it appears to be derelict.
