Lytham Hall is an 18th-century Georgian country house in Lytham, Lancashire. It is located near Lytham in 78 acres of wooded parkland. It was once the ancestral home of the Clifton Family, spanning over four centuries. The site and its parkland date back to the 12th century when it was home to a priory of Benedictine monks. Sir Cuthbert Clifton built a Jacobean Manor House on this site in 1606 and much of the Jacobean building still exists. In 1752 Thomas Clifton commissioned John Carr of York to build the fine Palladium House which we see today. During the First World War the house was used as a military hospital. Afterwards the Cliftons moved away and the house was somewhat neglected. And as a result of much of the family wealth being squandered, the house had to be sold to Guardian Royal Exchange Assurance in 1963 for office accommodation. In 1997, Lytham Town Trust bought the building, with help from a donation from BAE Systems, and subsequently leased it to Heritage Trust for the North West for 99 years. It is a Grade I listed building. It is within the council area of Fylde (Lancashire).
