Gatley Park

[2] The house was originally built for high court judge Sir Sampson Eure in the 1630s, but extended and restored between 1894 and 1907.

It is built in brick with two storeys and an attic to a square plan later extended by attached wings.

In the 1960s a domed three-storey tower designed by Raymond Erith was built just outside the park as a folly and dower house.

Gatley Park and the nearby manor of Leinthall Starkes once belonged to the Earl of March, reverting to the Crown on the accession of Edward IV.

They were granted in the reign of Elizabeth I to merchant William Horne from whom they passed to the Croft family.
