Cholmondeley's Mansion was demolished when the Grosvenor Park was laid out in 1867. It was probably built around the middle of the 18th century, and had three storeys and a central bow-fronted bay, which we know because there is a view drawn from a tethered balloon in 1852 in the Grosvenor Museum. It replaced an earlier house on the site, and the area they stood on has been excavated by students from Chester University over the last three summer seasons.
