Description
The Cheshire Hunt Kennels, built in 1834 by John Douglas Snr. for the Cheshire Hunt, is a notable structure that underwent renovation in 1964. The kennels are constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, with a roof made of Welsh slate and sheeting. Inside, the partitions are made of ashlar iced sandstone and feature iron railings.
The kennel enclosure is a square formed by high brick walls topped with stone copings and supported by chamfered buttresses. Along the north and west sides, there are one and two-storey brick buildings that house the hounds and the boiler room. One of these buildings displays a stone plaque that states:
"These Kennels were built by the Subscribers to the Cheshire Hounds AD 1834 Sir H M Mainwaring Bart. Manager Joseph Maiden Huntsman John Douglas Architect."
The rest of the enclosure is divided into paddocks by stone walls approximately 20 meters high, which are topped with sturdy iron spear railings of similar height. Stone buttresses feature brackets at intervals, and heavy wooden board doors provide access. A plaque inside the main door notes the renovation.
