Sutton Hall is a former country house to the west of the village of Sutton Lane Ends, Cheshire, England.
The present building dates from the middle of the 17th century, with additions and alterations in the late 18th century, and replaced a previous manor house.[1] It has since been converted into a pub/restaurant.[2]
The house is constructed partly in stone, and partly in timber framing, with a U-shaped plan. The arms of the "U" end in irregular gables. The left gable is in stone, and the right is timber-framed. The upper storey of the right gable is jettied, the jetty being supported on brackets carved with wooden figures, one a knight in chain mail. Between the two wings is the former great hall.[3] A 16th century chapel at the rear of the house, which has served at different times as stables and as a convent, now serves as the restaurant kitchens. The house is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.[1]
Not far from the hall is a Bronze Age barrow or cairn, probably a cremation site, now much reduced in size.[4][5]
