Alderley Old Hall, Manor house in Nether Alderley, England.
Alderley Old Hall is a manor house constructed with brick and timber framing, positioned beside the mill pond of Nether Alderley Mill with water features forming a moat around the structure. The building displays a mix of older and newer sections that reflect centuries of occupancy and adaptation.
The manor was built in the early 17th century for Sir Thomas Stanley, High Sheriff of Cheshire. A severe fire in 1779 destroyed the baroque frontage and prompted major reconstruction work.

The hall retains a moated setting created by the mill pond loop, connecting the residential structure with the industrial heritage of Nether Alderley Mill.
