Sweetbriar Hall, Grade II listed building in Nantwich, England
Sweetbriar Hall stands as a timber-framed black-and-white mansion house at 65 and 67 Hospital Street, featuring ornamental paneling and close studding patterns.
The building, constructed for the Woodhey branch of the Wilbraham family in the 15th century, survived the devastating fire of 1583 that destroyed much of Nantwich.
The hall served as residence to scientist Joseph Priestley from 1758 to 1761 and marked the birthplace of renowned surgeon Sir William Bowman in 1816.
The structure currently operates as two separate units, with number 65 functioning as architectural offices while number 67 remains a residential property.
The pentagonal projecting flat-roofed bay, added during the late 16th or early 17th century, represents an unusual architectural feature for buildings of this period.
