Clegg Hall is a 17th-century hall, situated just outside Smithy Bridge, near Rochdale in Lancashire. It was built by Theophilus Ashton (1584–1621). In the 1950s there was a fire at the hall which caused severe damage. In the late 1980s, following the building's purchase by an environmental organisation it was protected and saved from demolition until a new owner who would sympathetically rebuild and restore the hall could be found. Restoration took place between 2005 and 2011. It is reputed to be haunted by the Clegg Hall boggart. The hall is within the council area of Rochdale.
