Gawsworth Old Rectory is a house in the village of Gawsworth, Cheshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building.[1] The authors of the Buildings of England series express the opinion that it is "an exceptionally fine timber-framed house".[2]
The house was built as a rectory in about 1470,[2] or in the late 16th century,[1][3] and a north wing was added in 1872. The house is timber-framed, and it retains its hall open to the roof.[2] Much of the timber framing is close studded and the roof is of plain tiles. It is described as "one of the best preserved medium-sized houses of the period in Cheshire, particularly valuable for the survival of the open hall".[1] It is now a private house.[3]
