Willington Hall

Willington Hall is a former country house in the parish of Willington, Cheshire, England. It was extended in 1878, but reduced in size in the 1950s, and has since been in use as a hotel. HistoryThe house was built in 1829 by Richard Tomkinson on land purchased in 1827 by Major William Tomkinson from Lord Alvanley. Designed by Nantwich architect George Latham, in 1878 a new east front was added for William's son James Tomkinson. At the same time a new wing and stable blocks were added, and in the 1920s a laundry block was built. Although it escaped the fate of the destruction of country houses in 20th-century Britain, during the 1950s it was reduced in size, removing the 1878 east front and some of the outbuildings. In 1955 a portico was added, and it has since been in use as a hotel. The house is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.
