Richard Ainsworth's History and Associations of Altham and Huncoat, published in 1932, says that Read Hall, once owned by the Nowell family, was purchased by Richard Fort in 1801 and rebuilt. He bought it from the print works which was begun by his father, also Richard Fort. The firm had bought Read Hall and Moreton Hall in 1799.
