Chesters, Grade II* listed mansion in Humshaugh, England.
The Chesters mansion features three storeys with four bays and five two-storied wings, three of which extend diagonally from the main structure.
Architect John Carr constructed the mansion in 1771 for John Errington, and Norman Shaw executed substantial renovations and extensions in 1891.
The estate contains numerous Roman artifacts discovered by John Clayton during excavations at the adjacent Chesters Roman Fort near Hadrian's Wall.
The mansion remains a private residence and visitors can view the Roman artifact collection at the separate Chesters Museum on the grounds.
Norman Shaw's diagonal wing design created sunlit spaces on the south and west facades, introducing an architectural pattern known as the butterfly plan.
