Description

The beautiful gate house to dorfold hall on the chester road in my home town.

Dorfold Hall is a fine Jacobean manor house set on an ancient site in the wooded countryside of south Cheshire.

The present red-brick house with stone dressings was built in 1616 by Ralph Wilbraham, a member of a leading Cheshire family.

His son, Richard, was a Parliamentarian and in 1643 Dorfold Hall was plundered by the Royalist forces. In 1754 the property was purchased by James Tomkinson, a Nantwich lawyer, who commissioned Samuel Wyatt to redecorate the ground floor.
