Rode Hall

Rode Hall, une maison de campagne georgienne, est le siège de la famille Wilbraham, membres de la noblesse terrienne de la paroisse d'Odd Rode, Cheshire, Angleterre. Le domaine, avec le manoir à pans de bois d'origine, est acheté par les Wilbraham à l'ancienne famille Rode en 1669. Le manoir médiéval est remplacé entre 1700 et 1708 par un édifice en brique à sept travées ; un second bâtiment, à cinq travées, est construit en 1752 ; les deux bâtiments étant réunis en 1800 pour former l'actuel Rode Hall. L'extérieur et l'intérieur de Rode Hall sont modifiés à plusieurs reprises, notamment par les travaux de Thomas Farnolls Pritchard et Lewis Wyatt, ce qui entraîne une disposition irrégulière et complexe. La maison possède de grandes collections de peintures, de meubles et de porcelaines d'époque de Chelsea, Bow et Royal Worcester. La maison est classée Grade II * et est entourée d'un parc et de jardins à la française, qui sont classés comme Grade II sur le Registre National des Parcs et Jardins Historiques. Sur le site se trouvent une grotte, une glacière et un obélisque ornemental, toutes des structures classées Grade II. Rode Hall est toujours détenu et occupé par les Wilbraham, actuellement par le 8e baronnet, Sir Richard Baker Wilbraham, et sa femme, Lady Anne Baker Wilbraham. La maison et les jardins sont ouverts au public d'avril à septembre.

The estate, with the original timber-framed manor house, was purchased by the Wilbrahams from a cousin, Randle Rode in 1669. The medieval manor house was replaced between 1700 and 1708 by a brick-built seven-bay building; a second building, with five bays, was built in 1752; the two buildings being joined in 1800 to form the present Rode Hall. Both the exterior and interior of Rode Hall have been altered multiples times, including work by Thomas Farnolls Pritchard and Lewis Wyatt, resulting in an irregular and complex layout.

The house is Grade II* listed, and is surrounded by parkland and formal gardens, which are included as Grade II on the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. On the site are a grotto, an ice house, and an ornamental obelisk, all Grade II listed structures.
