Bramall Hall’s restoration is now complete thanks to a £1.6million grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund. Visitors can now enjoy the Hall again and see the dramatic improvements that have been made to the historic rooms, architecture and fabric of the building. The impressive plaster ceiling in the Withdrawing Room has been repaired and re-painted, objects and items of furniture have been conserved and hundreds of panes of historic, stained glass that were dirty and broken now sparkle in the sunshine.
Lunch in adjacent Stables Kitchen (included)
One of the most beautiful country homes in England, Adlington Hall reflects both the history of English architecture and the 700-year story of a single family, the Leghs. The Hall started life as a simple Saxon hunting lodge, a base for hunting by Earl Edwin and his men. The lodge was built around two great oaks which still stand today. During the Norman conquest, William the Conqueror threw Earl Edwin off the land and took it into Norman hands. The Norman Earls held Adlington for seven generations until it passed to the crown in 1221.
