Capesthorne Hall

Capesthorne Hall is a stately home in the Borough of Macclesfield, in the county of Cheshire in north-west England. It is a Grade II* listed building.[1]

It is the home of the Lord Lieutenant of Cheshire, the Queen's chief representative in the county,[2] and is situated approximately six miles west of Macclesfield and four miles south of Alderley Edge.

The Capesthorne Estate contains a number of houses and farms. The current hall is in the Tudor revival style and offers fine gardens, including a lake.

Regular events take place at the hall, including a vintage car show, which in 2005 featured a large number of classic American models.[3]

The current lord of Capesthorne Hall is William Arthur Bromley-Davenport. His wife is an American painter.
