“The Cholmondeley family have lived on these lands since Norman times, with the castle built in the early 19th century by the 1st Marquess. Nestled within historic parkland our 70 acres of beautiful gardens offer magnificent displays through the seasons and are filled with colour and botanical delights.” Actually, the current Marquess, David Cholmondeley, does not live at Cholmondeley but at his “other family seat”, Houghton Hall in Norfolk, but that probably has no bearing on the fact that – come the winter – the Gardens are a regular haunt of the Cheshire Hunt, and has been for generations. Even Wikipedia notes that “The Cheshire Hunt Hounds meet here occasionally” – as they did again in November 2024 as recorded by Cheshire Against Blood Sports where they rioted on a flock of sheep.
