The Hall is situated in 80 acres of mature parkland, and was built for Thomas Clifton by John Carr of York between 1752-1764 on the site of an earlier manor house and Priory settled by Benedictine monks from Durham.

The Clifton family had been in the area since the 12th century and purchased the Manor of Lytham in 1606. They were a colourful family and lived in considerable style. Strong Catholics, they were accused of conspiracy during the Lancashire plot to restore James II but were later acquitted. The many fine family portraits, furniture and original fittings still convey the feeling of a private residence.

The Estate originally consisted of 16,000 acres and the Hall would have been self-supporting with its own bake-house, brewery, buttery, dairy, ice-house and chapel. The family were renowned for their racehorses and had a three and a half mile race course in the grounds.Other Estate buildings include the impressive gatehouses, an unusual dovecote with 850 nesting boxes and a large stable and courtyard.

To the rear of the Hall the service quarters, grouped around an open courtyard, now serve as an outdoor refreshment area in summer. The old kitchen has been transformed into a charming tea-room and the West Wing a centre for conferences and events.

Lytham is well worth exploring with its attractive tree-lined streets, specialist shops, historic windmill, Heritage Centre and Lifeboat Museum on the green overlooking the Ribble Estuary.
