Coniston Arts & Crafts House

On Newton Lane there lies a house named Coniston (sorry to anyone who thought this might be about the Lake District). It was built by a master stonemason, H. A. Clegg, who made many of the monuments in Overleigh Cemetery, including his own, and he, and, later, his family, lived here until 1920. This is one of the very few Arts & Crafts style houses around Chester, and was originally surrounded by nursery gardens within the Kilmorey Estate.
