 Urmston Old Hall was the home of the manorial lord , and a centre of power in the area during the Middle Ages . The Old Hall was completely rebuilt in brick and timber in the late 16th century . New Croft Hall , also in Urmston , was the residence of a wealthy freeman and may have been moated . Urmston was only one of three manors in Trafford to have had two medieval halls , the others being Hale and Timperley . Neither of the halls has survived to the present day .
