Hoghton Tower is a fortified @nor_house two-thirds of a mile (1 km) east of the village of @ghton, Lancashire, England, and standing on a hilltop site on the highest point in the area. It takes its name from the @_Hoghton_baronets, its historical owners since at least the 12th century. The present house dates from about 1560–65.

It was damaged during the @glish_Civil_War and subsequently became derelict, but was rebuilt and extended between 1862 and 1901. The house is @sted_building at Grade I, as is the @eat_Barn,_Hoghton in its grounds, which is dated 1692. Also in the grounds are two structures listed at Grade II. The house and garden are open to the public at advertised times, and are administered by a @aritable_trusts_in_English_law, the Hoghton Tower Preservation Trust.
