Ordsall Hall

Ordsall Hall is a former stately home in Salford, Greater Manchester, England.  The oldest parts of the former Tudor mansion date back to the 15th century but there has been a building in location for at least 750 years. The Radclyffe family bought Ordsall Hall in the 14th century.

The Hall was originally built around a quadrangle and two wings of the building remain today; the south rand west ranges. The oldest rooms in the hall are the Great Hall and Star Chamber (named after the lead stars on the ceiling).

Margaret Radclyffe

Margaret Radclyffe died of a broken heart in 1599 after her twin brother, Alexander, died at see. She is believed to appear now as a White Lady in the Star Chamber and Great Hall.

Web Cams

Salford City Countil maintain two web cams; one in the Great Hall and the other in the Star Chamber. The Great Hall GhostCam is always offline between 9.00am and 4.00pm, Monday to Friday.
