Manor House is a Grade II* listed building on Chorley Road in the civil parish of Worthington, within the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan, Greater Manchester, England. Historically part of Lancashire, it is one of three listed buildings in the parish, which is predominantly rural.
Manor House dates from the 17th century or earlier, with later alterations and extensions. It reflects the long-standing settlement history of Worthington, which was historically part of the ancient parish of Standish in Lancashire.[1] The Worthington family held the manor from the medieval period until the late 17th century, and the house is associated with their occupation of the estate.
On 22 February 1967, Manor House was designated a Grade II* listed building for its architectural and historic significance.[2]
Manor House is currently in use as a private residence and is not open to the public.
