Ashton Hall is a largely rebuilt 14th-century mansion in Lancashire. It is situated three miles south of Lancaster, on the east bank of the River Lune. It has been designated a Grade I listed building since 1952. In the 13th century, the lordship of the Manor was held by the De Coucy family and from them passed to John de Coupland. The original hall dates from the late 14th century and was probably built and completed in 1381 by Edmund Lawrence. It is constructed of red and grey sandstone with slate roofs. Ashton Hall is now owned by Lancaster Golf Club and functions as the clubhouse, with the surrounding land having been turned into a golf course in 1932. The course was designed by renowned golf course architect James Braid. The hall and land were bought by the golf club in 1993. It is within the council area of Lancaster (Lancashire).
