- Oughtrington Hall
-
Oughtrington Hall is a country house standing to the south of the settlement of Oughtrington and to the east of the village of Lymm, in Cheshire, England. It was built in about 1830 for Trafford Trafford. In 1862 it was bought by G. C. Dewhurst, a cotton manufacturer from Manchester. Dewhurst enlarged the service wing and also paid for the building of St Peter's Church nearby.[1] The house is now part of Lymm Grammar School.[2] It is constructed in rendered brick with stone dressings and a slate roof.[1][2] The architectural style is Neoclassical. At the centre of the entrance front is a wide canted bay containing a porch with paired Tuscan columns. On each side of the porch are three-light windows under a segmental arch.[1] The house has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II listed building.[2]
