The remains of the 16th c. half-timbered residence were extensively remodelled in the 18th c. in Gothic style. Now demolished.
The original house was set in a park near the main road to London. Poynton Park, with an ornamental lake, remains on the site, although suburban housing occupies much of the landscape.
No family papers survive to record performances at Poynton, but entertainers patronized by the Warrens appearing elsewhere may also have appeared at Poynton.
Demolished.
ca. 1548 New hall built by Sir Edward Warren.
17th c. Jacobean entrance tower added. At some point a forecourt with castellated angle towers was added.
18th c. Early Georgian red brick wing added.
1750s Neoclassical mansion built on a different site. Park laid out with fashionable landscaping.
ca. 1775 Remains of the old hall converted in neo-Gothic style as 'The Towers.'
1826 Estate passed to the Vernons of Sudbury Hall, Derbyshire. Georgian house later demolished.
1869 The Towers enlarged as the main residence on the estate.
