SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend




Bramall Hall


Let's clear up one potential area of confusion - the name of the house here is "Bramall", while the name of the town is "Bramhall". The house is located just 3 miles from Stockport, and both house and gardens are owned by the local council.

The house is a superb example of Cheshire "black and white" half-timbering, and one of the largest timber-framed houses in the northwest. The core of the house was built in the 14th century, with later Tuor and Jacobean additions around a central courtyard. The final effect, almost self-consciously romantic, is the result of a Victorian rebuilding program.

Bramall was the home of the Davenport family for over 500 years, but the interior preserves little of the family's history. There are fine Tudor rooms, though they are sparsely furnished, but at least this allows good views of the period plasterwork, the original timber roof in the solar, and 16th century wall paintings throughout. In addition the Victorian kitchen and servants' quarters have been restored. A regular programme of "living history" exhibits and educational activities for children take place throughout the year.

The house is surrounded by 64 acres of lovely parks and gardens, including nature trails and woodland walks.

A booklet on Bramall Hall and the Davenport Family is available through a local history website.
