By Mark Ferguson

Historic buildings in Cheshire are in abundance with thousands of cottages, farmsteads and houses which were erected in the eighteen hundreds AD and many are predated to the Georgian style. Cheshire is situated on the northern boundaries next to Whales and Cheshire has a reputation for its wonderful countryside and gardens displaying castles as well as Roman villages.

To mention only a few of the many historic buildings that are noted in Cheshire is Adlington Hall which is owned by the Legh family and has been around since the thirteenth century in the forests of Macclesfield which was previously a hunting lodge in 1040. The staggering architecture is a combination of 16th century timber framing and 17th century brickwork which was originally moated and in the early nineteen hundreds the Legh family altered the original design

In 1832 Arley Hall was built by Rowland Egerton Warburton which is the great-great grandfather to the present owner Viscount Ashbrook and the Viscountess. Arley Hall is enveloped in the most magnificent scenic gardens.

A Jacobean Manor which one will find on the South side of Cheshire is Dorfold Hall which was erected on one of the ancients sites as well as a typically Cheshire style manor depicting black and white timber is Bramall Hall enfolded by beautiful parklands. Another manor with the same style of architecture as Bramall Hall is Gawsworth Hall which was built in the fifteen hundred's is surrounded by pre dated statues and ornaments and the gardens filled with luscious roses off setting a medieval church close by.

An original beautiful Tudor house which is surrounded by what was a deer park is Dunham Massey and it owned by the 9th Earl of Stamford Dunham Massey which can be found south west of Altrincham. A beautiful stately Elizabethan home which is well known for retaining a collection of 17th century hand crafted clocks is Lyme Park.

Other historic buildings in Cheshire displaying master craftsmanship is Rode Hall, Tatton Park, Peover Hall, Tabley House and Peckforton Castle which are only just a few more of the many thousands of historical buildings which can be seen.
