Tips from the Community

July 29, 2025, View of Holford Hall

Holford Hall is a country house west of the village of Plumley, Cheshire. It consists of a fragment of a much larger timber-framed house, built in 1601 for Mary Cholmondeley on a moated site. Getting a decent photo from closer by was difficult due to the trees.
