SALFORD HUNDRED ECCLES Kempnough Hall is a small black and white tim- bered building on a stone base, much renewed with brickwork, and said to have been almost entirely re- built in comparatively recent times. Much of the old timber work has been preserved, though the greater part of the ' timber' front is paint on plaster. The house is a two-story building with a slightly projecting gabled wing at each end, and is now divided into three cottages. It lies, surrounded by trees, about half a mile north-east of Worsley, near to Roe Green, but presents no remarkable features. The roofs are covered with stone slates and the chimneys are of brick. Two gates, with piers, which in the early part of the 19th century stood in front of the house have now disappeared. There is a large stone chimney at the east end of the house, and the ceilings of the lower rooms are crossed by oak beams. The back of the house shows the original timber framing. For some time during the latter half of the last century (c. 1850-75), a room in the building w,is set apart and maintained by the Countess of Ellesmere as a free medicine dispensary for the Worsley tenantry.
