Harrytown Hall

Last updated

Harrytown Hall is a former manor house situated in Bredbury, near Stockport, United Kingdom.

The first hall was built in the 15th century by Harry Bruckshaw. [1] In 1671 it was demolished and rebuilt by John Bruckshaw. [2] John's initials were carved along with his wife's, Sarah, over the front door along with the year. [3] The hall was built in a Gothic style, and it remains well-preserved. [4]

For many years the Bruckshaw's owned the estate, and later the Fosters and the Waltons, [5] but in 1913 the hall became a convent school. In 1978, the school moved to new premises and became Harrytown Catholic High School. The building is now used as flats. [4]
