Peel Hall, Cheshire

Peel Hall is a country house near the village of Ashton Hayes, Cheshire, England.

[1] In 1690 it was the location a visit by King William III of England hosted by Colonel Roger Whitley while the king was travelling en route to the Kingdom of Ireland to fight in the Battle of the Boyne.

[4] By the 1800s, the manor house had been transformed into a farmhouse with the original forty-two hearths being reduced to seventeen.

[4] The contemporary historian George Ormerod did not like Peel Hall, stating " ...it did but ill deserve the eulogiums which have been bestowed upon it, being but an indifferent specimen of the taste which prevailed on the restoration of Italian architecture in this country".

[4] Peel Hall is built in sandstone with slate roofs, and is in Jacobean style.
