Hampsfield House, was built in the 1880’s for Sir John Hibbert, an Oldham business man and later in life Member of Parliament within the Gladstone Government. The original Mansion House was built to a high specification, mainly of stone, and lying within extensive gardens and agricultural land holdings.
