Gawsworth Old Rectory, Grade I listed medieval house in Gawsworth, England
The Old Rectory exhibits traditional Cheshire black-and-white timber framing construction with decorative elements and an open hall reaching to the roof.
Built around 1470 by rector George Baguley, the house underwent restorations in 1724 by Rector William Hall and in 1873 by architect Richard Norman Shaw.
The residence connects to literary history through Mary Fitton, who lived there after her relationship with William Herbert ended in 1600.
The property contains 6,845 square feet of living space, including six reception rooms, seven bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a separate two-bedroom lodge.
The building maintains its original medieval hall structure with intact roof timbers, making it one of Cheshire's most complete houses from this period.
