Brereton Hall
Hob Uid: 74754
Location : Cheshire East Brereton
Grid Ref : SJ7813064850
Summary : Brereton Hall was built in 1585. It was altered in 1829 and in the late 19th century. In the mid 20th century it was a Girl's Grammar school until it closed in 1992. Since then it has been a private residence.Stone-dressed brick; leaded roof to front range and slate roofs to cross-wings. The present building suggests a reversed E plan. It is suggested that the great hall was demolished and replaced by an 1829 conservatory. Rear wall of front range opposite gateway is blank, with signs of rebuilding now giving onto metal conservatory.
