Worsley Old Hall is a Grade II listed building. The conservation area has within its boundary Worsley Old Hall and the former Worsley Old Hall Farm, now altered and extended as The Marriott Hotel, that includes a full size 18-hole golf course.

The Old Hall was for some time the residence of the engineer James Brindley (1716-1771), employed by the Duke of Bridgewater between 1742 and 1759, during which time he designed and built the Bridgewater Canal and the Barton Aqueduct.

The former Worsley Hall Farm adjoins Worsley Old Hall and is situated on the edge of Old Hall parkland. The Old Hall demesne farm existed on or near this site in the 16th and 17th centuries, and was let to tenant farmers until 1760 when John Gilbert, the Duke of Bridgewater’s agent and designer of the underground canal system at the Delph, took responsibility for the farm.

Lord Francis Egerton, who was created first Earl of Ellesmere in 1846, arranged for a new farm complex. Worsley New Hall, designed by the architect William Blore, which was demolished in 1949. The farm also appears to have been designed by Blore, being well planned and very modern for its time. Although the majority of farm buildings fell into a state of disrepair, portions were rebuilt and extended in 1998/9 to form the Marriott Hotel.
