CHAMBER-HALL – Situate on an eminence, commands a very extensive prospect of the country south. Manchester appears full in the perspective. It is a stone mansion, very handsome, considering its antiquity. The cottage of Chamber, the present residence of the curate of Hollinwood, is a neat small brick building, pleasantly seated a little below the hall, with some pleasant shrubberies, walks and gardens adjoining thereto, very neatly laid out. – It was lately the habitation of Mr Arhcibald Bell. – The following initials and date are over the door of a detached building near the hall, H.W.1648. This place was anciently the residence of a family of the name of Tetlow, the first of whom married a daughter of the ancient family of the Oldhams of Oldham.

The following is a pedigree of this ancient family:-

George & John Wood sold Chamber in 1646. Then it belonged to the Wrigleys and Wroes; and it is now the property of Gregg, Hopwood, Heron, and Starkey, Esqrs.
