Gorse Hall was the name given to two large houses in
Stalybridge, Greater Manchester, England, on a hill
bordering Dukinfield. The first house, Old Gorse Hall, can be
traced back to the 17th century and it probably dates from before this. Its
ruins can still be seen. The Hall was once part of the Duckenfeld Manor held by
Lieutenant–Colonel Robert Duckenfield, a Parliamentarian
soldier in the English Civil War. New Gorse Hall was built by John Leech in 1836. Today, both houses are
ruined. Their grounds cover approximately 35 acres (140,000 m2) of meadow and woodland and are now maintained by a
local community group called the Friends of Gorse Hall which has leased the site from the local authority, Tameside.[1]
The aim of the Friends of Gorse Hall is to promote the site for leisure, and educational use. (Wikipedia)
I am at present involved with the Friends of Gorse Hall building models of the estates buildings, in an attempt to bring the estate back to life for historical study.
