Venue description |
|
Wortley Hall is the workers' stately home. It has over 500 years of history, yet can offer the modern facilities demanded by a discerning clientele. Wortley Hall was the ancestral home of the Earls of Wharncliffe, the Lords of the Manor of Wortley. The earliest recording being Alnus de Wortley, mentioned in the Pipe Rolls for 1165. On 5th May 1951 Wortley Hall was formally opened as an educational and holiday centre. the trade union, Labour and Cooperative movement. Over the last 50 years, successive generations have maintained the commitment and beliefs of those early pioneers. Drawn from a broad base of the labour movement, no one person or organisation can have overall control of Wortley Hall. This is one of its strengths, a truly co-operative venture, run by its members for the movement as a whole. In the words of the current President, Stuart Charnley, 'This is our oasis of socialism, let us ensure its successful continuation.'
