Throwley Old Hall is a ruined stately home near the village of Calton and adjacent to the River Manifold, in north-east Staffordshire, England.
It is a Grade II* listed building[1] and a scheduled monument.[2] The estate is privately owned.[3]
The house is aligned north-east/south-west; it has two storeys, with a square tower, of three storeys, attached to the north-east corner.[1]
S. C. Hall, writing in the mid-19th century, described the house when it was intact: "It is built of the limestone of the neighbourhood, quoined with larger gritstones; and its walls bear a very time-worn appearance. On the Eastern side, its gables, large bayed window of many lights, divided by stone mullions, terminating in depressed arches, and its strong square tower, carry us back to the Sixteenth Century the period of its erection."[4] By 1921 the building's condition was similar to its present state.[2]
