Illustration by Andrew Cadey

A stunning example of a timber-framed Tudorbethan moated manor house with rich ornamental panelling.The earliest parts of the house were built for the prosperous Cheshire landowner William Moreton in about 1504–08, and the remainder was constructed in stages by successive generations of the family until about 1610.The last addition, illustrated here, was added by William's son John, who had the south wing built housing a gatehouse with accommodation for guests above and a 68 ft Long Gallery added on top. It is the weight of the Long Gallery that has created the characteristic irregular shape of the building, making the south wing tilt.
