Hulme Hall is a farmhouse on a moated site near Allostock, Cheshire. It originates from the 15th century. Additions and alterations took place in the 17th and 19th centuries. The site has a long history of occupation at first being the home of the Grosvenor family, passing on to the Shakerleys towards the end of the 15th century. 'Houlme' was an early version of the Norse word meaning 'land above the water' or 'island'. The Shakerleys built the 15th century bridge which is one entrance to Hulme Hall across the moat which is 20 yards wide. The other entrance is reputed to be the site of the old drawbridge. The building was in a state of considerable disrepair for over a decade and had been on the official 'Heritage at Risk' register before a £1 million restoration was completed in 2014. It is within the council area of Cheshire West and Chester.
