Gawsworth New Hall is a country house in the village of Gawsworth, Cheshire, England. It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II* listed building.[1]
The house was begun by Lord Mohun in 1707 but abandoned after he was killed in a duel with the Duke of Hamilton in 1712.[2] Later additions and alterations were made including those to the designs of Sir Hubert Worthington in 1914. It is built in red brick with a stone slate roof. It has two storeys and attic with an E-shaped plan. The garden front has 16 bays.[1]
