Peckforton Castle

Peckforton Castle was built between 1844 and 1850 for John Tollemache, the largest landowner in Cheshire at the time. Known to be somewhat eccentric, he built the castle as a residence in the style of a medieval castle. Tollemache's heirs sold the estate to a wealthy American woman who transformed it into a hotel. She sold the property to a family that staged a wedding in the castle and today Peckforton Castle operates as a Five-Star hotel and venue for weddings and corporate events. 0511d-0501-0281.jpg 0511d-0502-0004.jpg 0511d-0502-0017.jpg comment | share Type your message and click Add Comment It is best to login or register first but you may post as a guest.
