Perfectly situated in beautiful, secluded woodland between Manchester and Liverpool, Damhouse is an elegant manor house steeped in history. Dated to 1595 by the Greater Manchester Archaeological Unit, Damhouse was purchased and restored by the Morts Astley Heritage Trust in 1999. It boasts 17 acres of stunning woodland, a villa and a lake containing local wildlife.
If you have an interest in historic houses in the North West, or are intrigued by local history, then this historic 16th century manor house is a must. Damhouse was constructed under the commission of Adam Mort, to whom the Morts Astley Heritage Trust owe their name, who also established a school and chapel (St Stephens) for the local community.
In 1994, the North West Regional Health Authority announced their intention to sell Astley Hospital to the highest bidder as a site for housing development, which would have included the felling of ancient trees and the converting of Damhouse into apartments. This was of immediate concern to Astley's residents and thus the Morts Astley Heritage Trust was formed with the aim of retaining access to open space and preserving an historic building.
If you are looking for a traditional tea room in Astley or the surrounding area, there is surely none better than one situated in the grandeur of Damhouse, a magnificent 16th century manor house. The Tea Room at Damhouse is to be found on the ground floor, and provides a warm and welcoming atmosphere for visitors to the house, or those just wishing to take tea in style.

We enjoyed a lovely visit during Heritage Weekend, where we had a short talk about Damhouse's history, given by one of the trustees, which was followed by a brilliant and free guided tour of the top floor, not normally accessible to the public except by prior arrangement. This was a fascinating and absorbing trip back to the house's construction in 1595, to see how it was out together. We were able to see the pared back structure of the mansion, and appreciate the construction methods used to build such a grand residence. while enjoying a most interesting commentary. It was a very special treat
