Peel Hall, an Elizabethan moated manor house just off Peel Hall Road at the junction of Lomond Road, belonged to the Egertons ofWythenshawe Hall. It fell into disrepair in the 1960s and was demolished. The moat survives, surrounded by a park which has recreation facilities and a children's playground. The moat was not defensive but, similar to the one at Little Morton Hall in Cheshire, an Elizabethan feature to keep out animals. The site is recorded as a scheduled monument.[5]
