A stately mansion and extensive grounds owned by the National Trust. The house dates from the late 16th century but has been extensively remodeled in sort-of-Palladian-going-on-Baroque plus loads of Victoriana. It's often used as a film and TV location. Among its contents are the Lyme Caxton Missal, an original liturgy of the Mass published by Caxton. Off-beat buildings in its parklands are The Cage (a lock-up rebuilt in 1737) and The Lantern belvedere. On Sundays and Bank Holidays there's a free bus from Hazel Grove P&R.

You might also be able to sneak a peek at the Ballroom with its mighty Wurlitzer, a "Publix 1" designed to accompany silent films. Otherwise catch one of the organ concerts, held monthly on a Monday at noon.
Long established amateur theatre with a varied programme.
