MenuSomerford Booths Hall, Cheshire
Somerford Booths Hall is a timber-framed 17th century country house in Somerford Booths, Cheshire. It's located on the bank of the River Dane. It is built in rendered brick with stone dressings and has a slate roof. The house is in two storeys with an attic, it has an E-shaped double pile plan, and an entrance front of five symmetrical bays. The house was built in 1612 as a moated dwelling for Edmund Swetenham. After several generations of Swetenhams the ownership passed in 1768 to Roger Cumberbatch, who then assumed the name and arms of Swetenham. The house was improved in 1817 for Clement Swetenham by John Webb, the landscape gardener and architect who worked at nearby Somerford Park. After several more generations the house was sold in the 1930s. During much of the 20th century the house was used as offices but was subsequently restored to residential use. It is within the council area of Cheshire East.
