Round house


Why anyone would want to build a round house is a mystery to me.  The 'Round House' in Cheadle is tiny. 
In the nineteenth century, it only served as a lodge to a bigger property up the hill, so maybe it was just a whim to build it.

It was lived in as a residence, amazingly, until just a few years ago (split into four minuscule rooms!) - and then a local benefactor bought it and restored it.

  1. Do you know any history of who lived in the house? On his death certificate, my ancestor lived in "Round House" Woodhead, Cheadle. I wonder if this is it?
