Hawkley Hall was an Elixabethan mansion house in Pemberton, about 1.5 miles from Wigan and to the east of Goose Green. The Hawkley's, the original owners of the hall, came to England at the time of William the Conqueror. It passed to the Molyneux family in 1374, who considerably rebuilt it during the 17th century. It once held Oliver Cromwell and his officers during the civil war.{{Cite web | url=https://www.wiganlocalhistory.org/articles/the-history-of-the-wigan-flashes | title= History of the Wigan Flashes | author1 = Dr Mark Champion| author2 = Patricia Rigg| publisher= Lancashire Wildlife Trust | website = Wigan Building Preservation Trust }}
