Puddington Old Hall, Cheshire
Puddington Old Hall is a historic house in Puddington, Cheshire. It stands on a former moated site near the England-Wales border, overlooking the Dee estuary. The house originated in the 15th century as a timber-framed house with a quadrangular plan surrounding a central courtyard. Three sides of the building are still present. It was built for the Masseys, a prominent Jacobite family. During the Popish Plot, John Plessington, tutor to the Massey children and a Catholic priest was seized at the house, and hanged at Chester Castle in 1679. The house was re-walled in the early 18th century, and there are some additions dated 1909. The building has since been divided into two houses and a flat. It is within the council area of Cheshire West and Chester.
