There was probably an earlier building in existence before Alexander Chorley built the manor Farmhouse in 1662. john Chorley, a merchant, inherited the property in the 18th Century, but became bankrupt in 1806 and the estate was sold. There is archaeological evidence that the building was surrounded by a moat.
The present building shows a date of 1662 over the doorway and it was a working farm until the 1970’s when it was acquired by Burtonwood Brewery and converted to a Public House. During the 1990s, many of the original outbuildings fell into disrepair and had to be demolished.
The building is Grade II listed and detailed on the Historic England website.
