Old Medicine House & Peover Hall

Old Medicine House & Peover Hall

Wednesday 06 June 2018

The Old Medicine house is a complete C16 timber framed building. The integrity of the restoration gives the house an atmosphere, permanence and security, but it also reflects the energy of its past identities: patent medicine manufactory and pub amongst them. In 1970 the sixteenth century Old Medicine House was moved twenty miles, from Wrinehill in Staffordshire to its present site in Blackden, Cheshire. It now stands alongside Toad Hall, home of the author, Alan Garner.

Peover Hall is an Elizabethan house with a fascinating history and is still used today as a family home.  The hall’s rich history stems back to 1585 when it was built by Sir Randle Mainwaring. During World War II the house was requisitioned as the HQ for General George Patton of the United States 3rd Army to train for the D-Day landings in 1944.  It also housed a POW camp.   The house boasts splendid oak panelling, a long gallery and has been furnished using contents with a historic connection to Peover and the Mainwarings.
