Astle Hall

Astle Hall is a former country house located near Chelford, Cheshire in the North West of England.

[1][2] The hall was built in the middle of the 18th century by John Parker, Esq, on the site of old Milne House.

It was described by George Ormerod in his 1819 history of the county: "Astle Hall, which has been much enlarged and improved by the present proprietor, is a handsome and spacious edifice situated amongst extensive and well-timbered grounds.

At a short distance from the house is a large artificial piece of water, which assumes from its extent and variety of outline the appearance of a natural lake.

By 1988, this had been reduced to a painted brick wing of three storeys with gables, which the architectural writers Peter de Figueiredo and Julian Treuherz speculate might have represented the former hall's service wing, based on its lack of resemblance to pictures.
