Manor of Clifton

The Manor of Clifton was a historic manor situated near the City of Nottingham, England. The manor house, known as Clifton Hall is situated on the right bank of the River Trent in the village of Clifton, Nottinghamshire,^[1] (grid reference SK54043483).^[2] about 3+1⁄2 miles south-west of the historic centre of the City of Nottingham, now partly the campus of Nottingham Trent University and partly a large council estate of modern housing.

The Hall is a 13,946 square feet (1,295.6 m²) Grade I listed building,^[3] and is situated within the Clifton Village Conservation Area.^[4] Clifton Hall was remodelled in the late 18th century in Georgian style. The manor was held by the de Clifton (later Clifton) family from the late 13th century to the mid-20th century.

In 2008 Clifton Hall rose to national prominence when it was reported in tabloid newspapers that its millionaire owner, Anwar Rashid, and his family had left the South Wing of the house and stopped paying the mortgage because they believed it was haunted.^[5] It was repossessed by the bank and is currently for sale at £2.7m.^[6]
