Wythenshawe Park

The park features woodland, bedding, grassland and meadows, sporting facilities, Wythenshawe community farm and a horticulture centre.Wythenshawe (or Withenshawe) Hall was built as a timber-framed Tudor house, possibly surrounded originally by a moat.[3] The structures of a farm that was located west of Wythenshawe Hall have survived as park maintenance buildings.[3][4] In 1968, a 7.16-metre (23.5 ft)-tall bronze statue of Oliver Cromwell on a granite plinth and pedestal was relocated to Wythenshawe Park.From its inception, the statue had proved politically controversial, advocated by Radical Liberals but denounced by conservatives.
