Oughtrington Hall
Oughtrington Hall was a country house located in Oughtrington Lane to the east of the village of Lymm in Cheshire, England.
The manor house was rebuilt in about 1810 for Trafford Trafford (né Leigh: a descendant of the ancient Leighs of West Hall, High Legh), who assumed the surname and arms of Trafford by Royal Licence 5 December 1791 in compliance with the Will of his maternal uncle Richard Trafford, of Swythamley.[1][lower-alpha 1]
In 1862 Oughtrington Hall was bought by G. C. Dewhurst, a cotton manufacturer from Manchester. Dewhurst enlarged the service wing and also paid for the construction of St Peter's Church nearby.[3]
Built in the neoclassical architectural style, it is rendered of brick with stone dressings and a slate roof.[3][4] At the centre of the entrance front is a wide canted bay containing a porch with paired Tuscan columns. On each side of the porch are three-light windows under a segmental arch.[3]
The former mansion now forms the main building of Lymm Grammar School,[5][4] and is designated in the National Heritage List for England as a Grade II listed building.[4]
