Holford Hall is a country house standing to the west of the village of Plumley, Cheshire, England. It consists of a fragment of a much larger timber-framed house, built in 1601 for Mary Cholmondeley on a moated site. Part of the building was demolished in the 1880s.[1] The house is timber-framed with rendered infill. It has a stone-slate roof. The entrance front has two bays with gables and Ionic pilasters.[2] The architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner describes this front as being "highly decorated".[3] The house is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.[2] The stone bridge crossing the moat leading to the house is listed at Grade II.[4] The moated site on which the house stands is a Scheduled monument.[5]
