Extwistle Hall is a Grade II listed manor located high on the moors of Briercliffe. Originally part of land owned by Kirkstall Abbey, it was sold to Robert Parker, whose family, prominent in the area, built the Tudor-style hall in 1585. The Parkers lived in the hall for nearly 200 years before relocating to Cuerden Hall in around 1718.
