Over Tabley Hall

Over Tabley Hall is a red brick building in Tabley Superior with a symmetrical main front of nine bays and a three-storey tower rising from the central section. The structure includes a two-storey outbuilding to the south that once served as stables for the property.

The house was remodeled before 1771 by John Astley, a painter and amateur architect, who added Georgian Gothic elements to the earlier structure. This transformation gave the property the distinctive style it displays today.

The house displays decorative stone details and floral patterns that show what Georgian builders valued in their designs. Walking around the exterior, you notice how these ornaments frame the windows and define the overall look.

The hall sits northwest of junction 19 on the M6 motorway and is visible from the road nearby. Visitors can best appreciate the exterior from the surrounding grounds, and the property boundary is clearly marked.

The central bay's gable roof displays a continuous floral pattern in the entablature that brings the facade decoration to a distinctive peak. This running ornamental detail creates a visual link between the tower and the decorative elements below.
