Calveley Hall is a country house to the west of the village of Milton Green, Cheshire, England. It was built in 1684 for Lady Mary Calveley.[1] After Lady Mary's death the estate passed by marriage to the Leghs of Lyme.[2] In 1818 it was remodelled for Thomas Legh, and further alterations have been carried out during the 20th century. The house is constructed in rendered brick with stone quoins. It stands on a stone plinth, has hipped roofs in Welsh slate, and three brick chimneys. The entrance front has three storeys, and is symmetrical with seven bays, the bays at the ends being slightly set back.[1] The architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner describes it as being "absolutely plain".[3] Inside the house is a broad staircase with double twisted balusters, and newels carved with coats of arms, including those of Lady Mary. One of the rooms in the upper floor has an overmantel carved with the Calverley arms.[2] The hall has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II* listed building.[1] Associated with the hall are two structures listed Grade II. These are the gate piers and front garden walls,[4] and the former stables.[5]
