The Chantry House, Grade II* listed medieval house in Bunbury, England.
The Chantry House stands as a half-timbered structure with three bays and two stories, built upon a sandstone foundation and covered by a slate roof.
Constructed around 1527, the house initially housed two chantry priests who prayed for souls as requested in Sir Ralph Egerton's will until 1547.
In 1575, merchant Thomas Aldersey acquired the building and established a grammar school that operated within these walls for several centuries.
The structure contains original oak paneling, Tudor-arched stone fireplaces, and preserved doors with their initial hinges from the 16th century.
The building features an uncommon architectural element of curved tension braces on the ground floor, marking its exceptional timber framing techniques.
