Chorley Old Hall is a moated manor house in Alderley Edge, Cheshire. It is the oldest inhabited country house in Cheshire and consists of two ranges, one mediæval (built around 1330) and the other Elizabethan (built in the mid-16th century). The original part of the house was built around 1330 by Robert de Chorley. By 1523 the house was owned by the Davenport family and during the middle of the 16th century they constructed a half-timbered house adjoining the existing building's north-western corner. In the early 17th century the house was owned by the Stanley family who carried out alterations around 1640 and built a bridge across the moat. The two houses were joined by a brick link in the late 18th or the early 19th century. In 1915 the house was fully restored and further renovations were carried out in 1975. It is within the council area of Cheshire East.
