Handforth Hall, Manor house in Handforth, England.
The timber-framed structure extends across five bays and two storeys, featuring traditional black and white exterior designs with medieval-style formal gardens.
Sir Urian Brereton constructed this residence in 1562, and his great-grandson Sir William Brereton later commanded Parliamentary forces during the English Civil War.
The carved inscription above the porch details the marriage between Urian Brereton and Margaret Handford, marking the connection between two notable families.
The Grade II* listed building stands near coordinates 53°20′47″N 2°12′26″W, offering visitors insights into Tudor-era architectural techniques and garden design.
An ornate medieval-style garden surrounds the property, complete with structured elements including balustrated fences, arbours, and a carefully designed maze.
