History
Worsley Court House was built in 1849 as the local manor court. After 1888 it became a magistrates' court. Early in its history it was used for night classes and is now the village hall.
The courthouse was sold to Worsley Urban District Council in 1966 and was extended the following year. In 1974 ownership passed to Salford City Council.
Architecture
The courthouse is timber framed on a projecting stone plinth and has a slate roof. The studded framing has square panelling in its gables. The building centres around the large hall with tall gables surrounded by lower single-storey rooms. The gables have decorative bargeboards and finials. The doorway has a Tudor arched surround and a studded door. A ground-floor loggia with a balustrade forms a porchway.
