Hoghton
Welcome to Hoghton, home to the second oldest baronetcy in the kingdom.
Hoghton is a parish with long historical associations mostly linked with Hoghton Tower, which was erected between 1562 and 1565 by Thomas de Hoghton, replacing an earlier manor house.
Legend has it that King James I, when dining there, knighted a fine loin of beef, which appeared on the table and an inn within the parish is now called The Sirloin in remembrance of the event. Hoghton Tower is open to the public.
