Description:Broughton Hall was built for Sir Thomas Broughton in the mid-sixteenth century, possibly on the site of an earlier building. During the eighteenth century the ornate timber work was covered in plaster, to 'improve' the facade.
In 1914 Broughton Hall was bought by a Staffordshire industrialist, John Hall, from Sir Delves Broughton. Between 1926 and 1939 the new owner renovated the building, doubling its size by adding the northern wing and a stone extension to the rear. The plaster facade was also removed and the timber work restored.
