Utkinton Hall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Utkinton Hall is to the southeast of the village of Utkinton, Cheshire, England (grid reference SJ553646). It is a Grade I listed building.[1]
The hall originated as a large manor house for the Done family, who were the hereditary wardens of Delamere Forest, and is now a farmhouse. It has a medieval core but most of it dates from the early l7th century. It was partly refaced around 1700 and again in the early 18th century for Sir John Crewe. The hall is built in ashlar red sandstone. Part of the hall has an orange brick façade with red sandstone dressings. It has a Welsh slate roof and brick chimneys.[1] Walls and gatepiers surrounding the hall are listed Grade II.[2][3][4]
