Soss Moss Hall
Soss Moss Hall is a former manor house in the parish of Nether Alderley, Cheshire, England. It was built in 1583 for . The architectural writers Figueirdo and Treuherz consider that, because of duplication of some of the timbers, it was built in two stages.[1] Between 1835 and 1940 the kitchen of the house was used as Nether Alderley Methodist Chapel.[1][2] The house was extended in the early 17th century and alterations were made during the 20th century. It is a timber-framed building on a sandstone plinth, with some repairs in brick. The infill is partly with brick, and partly with plaster. It is roofed in Kerridge stone slate, with stone ridges.[2] The house has a H-shaped plan.[1] It has two storeys, the north front having three gables, all of which have black-and-white herringbone decoration.[2] On the left side is a massive stone chimney with three stacks, serving three fireplaces; it contains garderobes.[1][2] The house is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.[2]
