One of Manchester's oldest buildings reopens today - six years on from devastating arson attack
In the early hours of March 15, 2016, an arsonist high on drink and drugs torched the Grade II listed Wythenshawe Hall before leaving it to burn. As flames ripped through the building, helpless volunteers and residents could only watch on in horror.
As part of the £6.7 million renovation, the building’s timeless stained-glass windows have also been replaced with mimicked designs closely representing the original works. A ceremony to mark the hall's reopening will be held at 11am today. The building will then remain open to the public from 12pm-5pm on both Saturday and Sunday.
