Haslington Hall
Haslington Hall is a country house in the flat country 1 km east of the village of Haslington in the English county of Cheshire . English Heritage has listed it as a Grade I Historic Building.
Early history
It is difficult to trace the early history of the country house because all of the early documents on this house were kept in the basement of a bank in Manchester . They were destroyed in 1940 during a bombing raid on Manchester during World War II.
The Vernon family acquired the manorial rule of Haslington through the marriage of Sir Thomas Vernon and Joan Lostock , the heiress of Haslington, in the 14th century. Admiral Sir Francis Vernon had the house built in 1545, which contains parts of the original medieval mansion, which is believed to date from 1480. Extensions and modifications were carried out in the 16th, 17th and 19th centuries. It is said that some of the wooden beams used in the early stages of construction were saved from ships of the Spanish Armada in 1588 . At the end of the 19th century the mansion was simply a farm. Extensive repairs, changes, and additions were made in 1931.
architecture
The house is partly timber -framed , partly brick and has a slate roof . The two-story building has six bays. in the half-timbered areas the beams are arranged in a herringbone pattern , in quatrefoil and in pointed, concave diamonds . The rear facade is mainly made of brick.
Recent history
Former residents were z. B. Colonel H. Watts and Mrs. Lilian Watts . Mrs. Watts was the first President of the Women's Institute , Haslington and Crewe Green Division, founded in 1944. She is often mistaken for Mrs. Madge Watts , a Canadian who founded Women's Institutes in the UK in 1915 . The latter returned to Canada in 1919 and it is unlikely that she would have ever visited Haslington.
After the First World War , the future Air Commodore Felicity Peake , first director of the Women's Royal Air Force and daughter of Colonel H. Watts , spent most of her youth in the house. In 1970 millionaire Tony Vernon bought the house who founded Murray Vernon , one of the largest independent dairy processing companies in the country. He had the house renovated over the next 30 years. After his death the house was sold to Isaq and Nina Raja for £ 3 million . It is now part of TailorMade Venues , an exclusive collection of venues for weddings and private events.
