About Peover Hall Gardens

A visit to Peover Hall gardens is a delight for everyone. Providing a wonderful backdrop to the gardens is Peover Hall a Grade 2* listed Elizabethan family house dating from 1585 and situated within some 500 acres of landscaped 18th Century parkland. The formal gardens were designed between 1890-1900 and feature a series of ‘garden rooms’ filled with clipped box, water garden, Romanesque loggia, warm brick walls, unusual doors, secret passageways, beautiful topiary work and walled gardens, C19 dell and rockery, rhododendrons and pleached limes. The grounds of the Hall also house working stables, estate cottages and the parish church of St Lawrence which contains two Mainwaring Chapels with beautiful effigies.

The house will be open to the public during the NGS open weekend but will incur an extra charge for a tour. The architectural jewel is the Grade I listed Carolean stables built in 1654; their interior stalls are richly carved and include original Tuscan columns and strap work. The Carolean stables will be open to view during the weekend.

Immediately adjacent to the stables is the attractive Coach House topped with a working bell tower added by Sir Henry Mainwaring in 1764. During World War II the house was requisitioned for the use of General George Patton of the United States 3rd Army when it was damaged by a fire started by a soldier in 1944. Later the house was derelict and has been extensively renovated since the 1960’s by the Brooks family.
