Inglewood

Inglewood is a house to the north-west of the village of Ledsham, Cheshire, England. It was built in 1909, but is dated 1915.[1] The house was built for F. H. Fox, a Liverpool millionaire who made his fortune in marine insurance. The house later became a training centre.[2] As of 2011 it is a hotel called Inglewood Manor Hotel.[3] The house is mainly half-timbered, with stone dressings, and brick chimneys decorated with diapering. It is roofed with Lakeland slate. Its architectural style is late Arts and Crafts.[2] The house has a rectangular plan, with three fronts in two and three storeys. The entrance is on the east front, which has eight bays; the south and west fronts each have five bays.[1] On the south side is a balcony overlooking the gardens.[2] The house is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.[1] Also listed Grade II are the south and west terrace walls of the garden,[4] and the east terrace walls and a pergola.[5]
