Heaton Hall has received key funding support from Historic England and Manchester City Council to ensure the building is protected in the future and to complete essential maintenance works.
The Grade I listed property has been on Historic England's At Risk list for many years. The Hall, designed in 1772 by esteemed architect James Wyatt, has undergone five phases of essential maintenance works. The previous four phases have consisted of work including: repairs to the east and west wings; replacement of the windows and shutters and fixing the roof of the Orangery to protect the Hall.

The current phase, phase five, consists of on-going maintenance repair works including the replacement of recently broken windows, rendering repairs, and internal repair work on the first floor. Maintenance and ongoing repairs were started over 3 years ago and have now been completed to help protect the architectural gem for future generations. The current works are now complete and further maintenance will take place in the future.
Over the past five years the Council has been refashioning aspects of the park in a sustainable way to help ensure accessibility and to further enhance the setting of the Hall and make the Grade I building a fitting focal point of the wider park landscape. Improvements include the provision of new toilets in the park; creating wider entrances; the resurfacing of main paths and installing 23 new benches.
