Hawkley Hall was an Elixabethan mansion house in Pemberton, about 1.5 miles from Wigan and to the east of Goose Green. The Hawkley's, the original owners of the hall, came to England at the time of William the Conqueror. It passed to the Molyneux family in 1374, who considerably rebuilt it during the 17th century. It once held Oliver Cromwell and his officers during the civil war.[1] The hall was demolished in 1970[2] and a housing estate occupies the site today known as the "Hawkley Hall Estate".[3][4]
