Gawsworth Hall

Gawsworth Hall is an ancient manor house wrapped in romance, intrigue and great charm. Here you will find the Fitton family Chapel, first licensed in 1365, and still used by the family today.

The original Norman house was rebuilt in 1480 and, following extensive remodelling in 1701, was the subject of the most famous duel in English history in 1712 Lord Mohun and the Duke of Hamilton fought over the estates and both duellists were killed.

Here lived Mary Fitton, the younger daughter of Sir Edward and Lady Alice Fitton (Sir Edward had inherited Gawsworth Hall on the death of his father in 1579). Mary is possibly the Dark Lady of Shakespeare’s Sonnets. Her short, but brilliant career at the Court of Queen Elizabeth I (where she was appointed Maid of Honour in 1596) ended in 1602 following a rather wild affair with the Earl of Pembroke – she became pregnant, a matter that so outraged the Virgin Queen that both she and the Earl were sent to the Tower for an undisclosed period.

Great and friendly service. Charming old farm house with period features. Comfy ensuite rooms with traditional yet tasteful adornments. A gem in the Bollington area.

Stayed in the log pod last night, and had a really lovely time. Brenda was welcoming and drove us herself to the log pod upon arrival. Log pod itself spotless, in a lovely location and full of all necessities. Beautiful surrounding area too with plenty to do.

Would recommend 100% and we hope to be back soon!

I stayed in the log pod on the Saturday. I would like to say was probably the cutiest one I've ever stayed in. I booked it for me and my partner and we really loved it. Its on its own, in the farm fields with a cosy fire pit, all logs provided and even fire lighters to get it going. Tea and coffee with hot chocolate and even marshmallows. All the little bits added up and I would highly recommend a stay here. Brenda and Alan were lovely and I shall be visiting again.
