Residence of the abbots of Chester for which a licence crenellate was obtained in 1399 and repeated in 1410, but probably not acted upon on either occasion. The 1410 Royal licence may be a confirmation of a 1399 Palatine licence. Site now occupied by mid C17 house converted into a hotel. It was recorded in 1902 that a small deer park surrounded the building, but no trace of it was found in 1964.
