Tabley House is a former stately home in Tabley Inferior (Nether Tabley), some 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) to the east of the town of Knutsford, Cheshire, England. The house has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building. It was built between 1761 and 1769 for Sir Peter Byrne Leicester, to replace an older hall nearby (Tabley Old Hall), and was designed by John Carr. In the early part of the 19th century three of Carr`s rooms on the west side of the house were converted to form a single room, the gallery. After Sir Peter`s death the house was re-orientated and the main entrance moved from the south to the north front. The house and estate continued to be held by the Leicester family until the death of Lt. Col. John Leicester Warren in 1975. They were then acquired by the Victoria University of Manchester, and the house was used as a school. Since 1988 its lease has been held by a health care company.
