Mere Old Hall, English country house in Mere, Cheshire, England.
Mere Old Hall is a country house in Mere, Cheshire, built from white-rendered brick and stone with an L-shaped form. The structure rises two to three stories, features a tiled and slate roof, and includes a kitchen garden with walls that are also listed buildings.
Sir Peter Brooke acquired the property from the Mere family in 1652 and commissioned a new build on the site. The structure underwent several modifications across the centuries that followed.
The Grade II listing status indicates the building's architectural value, requiring specific permissions for any structural changes to maintain its historical character.
The property is located at the junction of roads A566 and A50 in the village. Since it holds protected status, it is worth checking with the owners or authorities before planning any visit or viewing the exterior.
William Graham Crum, a calico printer from Manchester, lived here and fathered his son John Macleod Campbell Crum in 1872 within these walls. This connection to textile manufacturing reveals the industrial reach of Victorian England into country estates.
