Moss Hall, Audlem

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Moss Hall, Audlem is a manor house 0.5 miles (1 km) to the northwest of Audlem, Cheshire, England, overlooking the Shropshire Union Canal (grid reference SJ654441). It is a Grade I listed building.[1]

The building dates from 1616 and it was extensively renovated in 1902.[2] It is timber framed with rendered infill, close studded with a middle rail to both floors. It is in two storeys with attics, and has a plain tile roof. The entrance front has five bays with four gables. The house is nearly symmetrical, is E-shaped, and is set on an ashlar plinth. In its centre is a two-storey gabled porch wing, which is a later addition. The first floor is jettied and supported on carved brackets.[1][3] It has been described as "a surprisingly complete example of a gentleman's house of the early 17th century".[1]
