Claughton Hall (Claughton pronounced /ˈklæftən/ KLAF-tən) is a large country house in the English village of Claughton, Lancashire. A Grade I listed building, it dates to around 1600, but it contains material believed to be from the 15th century.[1]

The building was moved to its present site, from the bottom of the hill on which it sits,[2] in 1932–35. It is built in sandstone with stone-slate roofs. At each end of the north front are tall projecting towers; the left tower is gabled, and the right tower has a hipped roof. In the top storey of both towers are continuous mullioned and transomed windows. The recessed section between them contains two chimneys on corbels, and a doorway flanked by three-light windows, and with an oriel window above.[3][4]

It has been the home of former Blackpool F.C. owner Owen Oyston since the 1970s.[5][6] Oyston was found guilty of raping a 16-year-old girl at the property in 1996.[7]
