Dalemain The smooth Georgian front belies the medieval heritage of Dalemain, home to the same family since 1679. The house is built around an inner courtyard, and the interior rooms are a charming mixture of formal Georgian rococo and paneled Elizabethan. Take a break in the medieval hall, now the tea room.

 Doddington Hall
We had the pleasure of visiting here, and our information is based on our personal experiences We took some photos of this location that we'd like to share with you  

An Elizabethan house of red brick, probably the work of Robert Smythson, who was also responsible for Hardwick and Longleat. A mix of rooms, ranging from intimate to bleak, is on display. At least as fascinating as the house is the story of its past. The Delaval family inherited in the mid 18th century, and the last of the line, Sarah Delaval, bequeathed the house to her paramour instead of her husband, (whose response must have been unprintable to say the least!) and so the estate passed to the Jarvis family, who own it still. Ah, love!

The main part of the medieval house was rebuilt around 1630, with further remodelling in 1648 and again in 1692 when a new range, now ruined, was added to the earlier structure.

 Gawsworth Hall
  

Gawsworth Hall began as a Norman manor, though that early house was replaced in 1485 by a half-timbered manor built around a courtyard. The mound that once held the Norman house now boasts only the tiny chapel, built in 1369 and still in use, though it has been much remodeled, with stained glass by Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris. The present house retains the Tudor half-timbering so often encountered in Cheshire houses, but the Elizabethan core has been heavily altered over the years.
