Early history of this hall was lost as most of the records were lost during air raids on Manchester during 1940. Built by Admiral Sir Francis Vernon in 1545 the manor of Haslington was acquired by the Vernon family as a consequence of the 14th-century marriage of Sir Thomas Vernon to Joan Lostock, heiress of Haslington. The house contains parts of the original medieval manor house which are said to date back to 1480. Additions and alterations were made to it in the 16th, 17th and 19th centuries and it is claimed that some of the timbers used in the early phase of construction were salvaged from ships of the Spanish Armada in 1588. It became a farmhouse the late 19th century. it is now a wedding venue.
