Bank Hall

Bank Hall is a house dating to around 1760. Originally built of brick, it has been rendered in the 20th century and now has a 20th-century tile roof. The house is three stories high, with a footprint of two rooms wide by two rooms deep, and includes a two-story porch and a 20th-century lean-to addition at the left and rear. The main facade has two bays and features 20th-century casement windows on each floor, along with a two-story porch on the extreme right. The side elevations contain various 20th-century window openings. Gable stacks are present.

The porch leads to a lobby entrance. The original house section features a spire, a bressumer beam, an inglenook fireplace, and chamfered beams. A wall has been removed between the original room and the rear room. An original dogleg staircase is present, with a plain newel, handrail, and splat balusters (some of which are missing or have been replaced). In the rear left room are chamfered beams with run-out stops. The property occupies an ancient, former moated site and was historically the seat of the Vawdrey family. A photograph from around 1880 can be found in R. N. Dore’s A History of Hale, Cheshire, published in 1972.
