Description:A postcard view of the Old Hall which was built by Lord Crewe around 1530. This Grade II* listed building is timber infilled with brick and has a very large chimney which is twelve feet square and serves ten fireplaces. It is currently (2025) known as The Old Hall Country House, with accommodation. One gable bears the inscription 'Wallk Knave What Look'st at. 1647.' The initials are those of the Bailiff, John Sidway when the inscription was added during the Civil War.
