John Byrne Leicester-Warren, Baron de Tabley was born April 3d 1835 and brought up at Tabley House, Knutsford. He was educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford and was a part-time Lieutenant in the Cheshire Yeomanry. He was a shy, scholarly man of many talents. Known as "The O'Byrne', he was an established poet and novelist and friend of the poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson. His book 'Poems Dramatic and Lyrical' was published to critical acclaim. Among his other interests were Book Plates and Coins but above all he loved the countryside and studied meticulously the wild flowers of this area. His book "The Flora of Cheshire,' published in 1899 after his death, is still a standard reference book for botanists. He had a special interest in the bramble (Blackberry) family and it is said that the one growing on his grave is of a variety identified by him. It is probably Rubus laciniatus, a cutleaf variety. He died of influenza in 1895, unmarried, and since there was no heir the barony became extinct. He is buried beneath this Celtic cross which was commissioned by his sister Eleanor who is also buried here, and had these lines inscribed: 'Peace! There is nothing more for men to speak! A larger wisdom than this our lips decrees. From that dumb mouth no longer reason seek No censure reaches that eternal peace And that immortal ease'

The house was refaced in 1585 and was built for Sir Ralph Mainwaring. There have been alterations and additions to the house in around 1653–56, around 1764, around 1944 and in 1966. It was originally planned as an H- shaped house but this plan was abandoned around 1590. In 1654 a stable block was built. The alterations in the 1760s included a wing at a right-angle to the house (added c.1764), making it a T-shape, and a new stable block and coach house. In 1919 the Mainwaring family sold the house to John Graham Peel and it was sold again to Harry Brooks in 1940. During the Second World War the house was requisitioned and used by General George Patton and his staff. The hall was also used as a prisoner of war camp, and as a resettlement home for allied prisoners of war and for English people repatriated after the partition of India. It was returned to the Brooks family in 1950. The 1760s wing was in poor condition and was demolished in 1964, taking the house from 21 to 11 bedrooms, other modifications were made too, including a new entrance.

Avoid when rains heavily as does not drain! (You know it's bad when mini bridges from sticks are placed across swamp puddles!)
