Ball Farm

Ball Farm is the oldest surviving building in the village of Hankelow, near Audlem in Cheshire, England, and is thought to date from 1510.

[3][4] The owner of Ball Farm, Richard Hassall of Hankelow, was made a Serjeant-at-law for the county town of Chester in 1511, a prestigious post appointed by the Crown which his father had held before him.

[1] Ball Farm stands at SJ6685045663 by a right-angled bend on Hall Lane just to the north west of Hankelow village.

[1][11][12] It is near Manor Farm, a grade-II-listed farmhouse of the late 18th or early 19th century,[13] and Hankelow Court, a Black-and-white Revival house of 1875.

[14] The farmhouse was originally a timber-framed building, but much of the external timber frame was replaced by red brick during the early or mid-19th century.
