Holford Hall

Holford Hall is a country house west of the village of Plumley, Cheshire, England.

The entrance front has two bays with gables and Ionic pilasters.^[1] The architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner describes this front as being "highly decorated".^[3] The house is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.^[1] The stone bridge leading to the house across the moat is listed at Grade II,^[4] and the moated site on which the house stands is a scheduled monument.^[5]
