Kerridge
Kerridge is a village in the civil parish of Bollington, in the Cheshire East district, in the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England. Kerridge borders the neighbouring village and civil parish of Rainow.
It gives its name to Kerridge Ridge – one of the western foothills of the Pennines – by which it stands. It is overlooked by the local landmark of White Nancy. The local industries were quarrying and cotton mills, of which remnants remain.
On 29 February 1912, the Macclesfield Canal at Kerridge burst its banks, flooding several nearby streets.

Hollin Old Hall
Hollin Old Hall is a house in Bollington, Cheshire, England. The oldest part of the house dates from the seventeenth century. In the middle of the eighteenth century the roof was raised, and an addition was made to the rear of the house for Richard Broster. It was remodelled and expanded in about 1870 for the Ascoli family. The building has since been divided into two houses. It is constructed in coursed buff sandstone rubble, with a Kerridge stone-slate roof, a stone ridge, and stone chimneys. The house is in two storeys over a barrel-roofed cellar. The main front has three bays with nineteenth-century four-light windows, and two gables, each with a two-light window. Elsewhere the house is in Jacobean style, with windows that are mullioned and transomed, or just mullioned. In the cellar is a large slab inscribed "This must stand here forever, Richard Broster 1757". The house is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.

Ingersley Hall
Ingersley Hall, later Savio House, stands to the east of the town of Bollington, Cheshire, England. The house was built in about 1775 for John Gaskell. Extensions were added to it in 1833 for John Upton Gaskell. The house was sold by the Gaskell family in 1933. In the 1950s it was taken over by a religious order, the Salesians of Don Bosco, and renamed Savio House. As of 2011 the house is used as a retreat and activities centre for young people. The front of the house is constructed in ashlar, with the remainder in coursed sandstone rubble. The house is roofed in Welsh slate and has stone chimneys. It has a rectangular plan and is in two storeys. The architectural style is Greek Revival. The north front is symmetrical with five bays divided by pilasters. The porch is in Doric style. The west front has eight bays, the central three of which were in the original house. All the windows in the north and west fronts are sashes with 12 panes. The south door is in Tuscan style, and was probably moved from the west front. The house is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. Also listed at Grade II is a former coach house to the south of the hall, built in about 1850, and converted into a conference hall in about 1950.
