Ford Green Hall

The oldest parts of the house date from the early 17th century, with one wing being either added or greatly repaired at some point in the early 18th century. In its grounds, there also stands an 18th-century dovecote which shares the listed building status of the main farmhouse.

The Hall was built in 1624 for Hugh Ford, a local yeoman farmer, remaining in the Ford family for some 200 years until it was sold in 1803.

After this date the Hall had a series of tenants, until it was eventually split into three and finally four separate dwellings. The property was purchased by Stoke-on-Trent City Council in 1946 and, following restoration, opened as a museum in 1952.
