    This article is in good shape. I believe that it could do with the use of an infobox, e.g. {{Infobox building}}. I am happy to pass this as a Good Article. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 15:59, 11 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the review, copy edit and comment. I did consider using an infobox, but which one? The article hardly mentions the present house, and there was a progression of earlier houses, each of which was more notable than the current one. This is an unusual situation for a Cheshire "stately home", in that the house hardly figures; the article is more about the gardens and the surrounding estate and estate buildings. Hence IMO, in this case, an infobox would probably be more of a hindrance than a help. I should welcome comments on this from others.--Peter I. Vardy (talk) 16:22, 11 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
