Saighton Grange, English Gothic country house in Saighton, England
The red sandstone structure of Saighton Grange features Tudor architectural elements, including battlements, stepped gables, and narrow windows across three floors.
Built around 1489 for Simon Ripley, Abbot of St Werburgh's, the manor underwent modifications between 1870-72 and 1894-96 under the direction of John Douglas.
The gatehouse stands as one of only two remaining monastic manorial buildings in Cheshire, representing medieval ecclesiastical architecture in the region.
Now functioning as Abbey Gate College, the Grade II listed building serves students aged 4-18 while maintaining its historical architectural features.
The property received a license to crenellate in 1399 and 1410, though these defensive architectural privileges were never implemented in the structure.
