Tytherington, Cheshire

Tytherington in Macclesfield in Cheshire, England is now a residential area. It was once very much a rural setting, with its own stone mansion named 'Tytherington Hall' or 'House', built by the wife of William Brocklehurst in the 19th century. William Brocklehurst was not informed of the construction until his wife surprised him by taking him to the gates of the driveway, from where he 'refused to go any further'.

The building later became the residence of Mr Henry Charlton, a philanthropic cotton merchant from Manchester. Miss Salt from Buxton bought the house in the early 20th century and named it 'Marlborough College for Girls'.

During World War II, American soldiers were billeted in the Hall and in nissen huts dotted around the grounds.

In the times of the occupation by the Americans and other troops the Hall fell into disrepair and was demolished in the 1960s to make way for Marlborough Primary School and the Tytherington housing estate.

Nowadays the Tytherington estate is split into two main parts; Rugby Drive area and Dorchester way area. Dorchester way houses a golf club and woods.House prices on the estate have risen in the past 10 years and the average house price is around £320,000 this can range from as low as £205,000 to as high as £720,000.The Rugby drive area contains houses of around £295,000 in value and the name derives from the location of the former Macclesfield Rugby Club, who have since relocated to Prestbury.The rugby pitch remains but is now used mainly for football.
