Mottram in Longendale - Hodge Hall [Hole?]

[Olive H]

Could be so Ruskie 

Thanks for your input too.... Bodger
It does look like Hodge Hall /Hole was connected with the Matley family certainly at some stage from what I found under "The Diary of George Booth" [link above]. Not aware I have any ancestral connection to them but you never know I think it is likely that Matley Lane was named after the Matley family.  Not sure which Archives would be the best course of action for finding out more regarding Hodge Hall/Hole.

Thanks

There is also a 'Higher Matley Hall' on the modern map.

Hi Ruskie

Thanks for the info

Now I wonder who built the both of them 

I earlier sent a query through the Tameside gov website regarding Hodge Hall. Will post details here when they respond....hopefully they will be able to tell us a little more ....fingers crossed  ..

I wonder if that was just called Matley Hall in the olden days as just ran a quick search and could only find mention of a Matley Hall in the censuses for the area.. It must be an old building anyway as I just found this also....mention of it having been for sale, fairly recently presumably....it is Grade II listed and has stables, and a tack room ? [whatever that is] ...  ►Matley ...Higher Matley Hall ◄ ...

[Ruskie]

Yes, do keep us up to date with any new findings OliveH. I think a tack room is something to do with horsey things?

I think also there was a Stayley Hall in Mottram at least in the  early 1800's..connected with farming

Sorry I'm only just responding, but new to research into the Hodge Hall area.
Basically, I had a relative, Edward Moss, who was the occupier of Hodge Hall in 1799. I believe he built nearby Moss Mill in 1796.
I looked at the Land Tax Returns only last week and Edward Moss paid the Land Tax on Hodge Hall up to 1803 or there abouts after which time he was paying the tax on Hodge Farm. (these dates are very approximate). He also paid Land Tax on a mill variously known as Wharf Mill or Hodge Mill from 1799 until the 1820's. I suspect he was only a joint occupier of Hodge Mill so maybe other people paid tax on part of it as well.
If this is of any interest please get back to me.

Welcome to rootschat Jeff.

Thanks Ruskie.

A pity that Olive H doesn't appear to be active on rootschat these days as I now have even more information, including a map showing Hodge Hall!

Yes, Olvive H  hasn't been on for over a year. It might be worth sending her a Personal Message. Just click on her name which will take you to a page where you can do this. Anyway, it's nice of you to try to help.
