We can only find snippets of the history of Old Lea Hall but those snippets link Old Lea Hall to one of the area’s most famous families: the Hoghtons. The Hoghton family bought the Manor of Lea towards the beginning of the 14th century. The family apparently used Lea Hall as their main home until Hoghton Tower – another grade one listed building – was built in 1565. Old Lea Hall is the only surviving building of complex of buildings that made up the Manor House of Lea, although today’s building mostly dates from the late 17th century or early 18th century.
