Abbot's House, Combermere Abbey
The stone-faced building on the left is the original Abbot's House of the Cistercian abbey. The timber building with hammerbeam roof dates from around 1500 and is grade I listed; the stone facing and Gothic ornamentation were added by Sir Stapleton Cotton (later Viscount Combermere) in 1814-20. The building is currently privately owned; public tours are available on Thursdays from April-September. Further information at Images of England:
