Capesthorne Hall - a photo on Flickriver

Capesthorne Hall

            One of the truly great historic houses of Cheshire, a county that is not short of great stately homes! Capesthorne has a history dating back to the Domesday Book, when the Capesthorne family held the important post of Chief Foresters in the Royal Forest of Macclesfield. This role meant that they enforced royal privilege in the area and had the power to try and sentence poachers.

The house is a magnificent Jacobean style building built in 1722 by William and Francis Smith of Staffordshire. Though the exterior of the house retains elements of its 18th-century character, much remodelling was performed by the architect Anthony Salvin after a disastrous fire of 1861. The interior of the house boasts a fine collection of antique furniture, art, marble sculpture, and tapestries.
