Taintree House, formerly known as the Manor House, dates back to at least the first half of the eighteenth century, and was the home of the artist Sir James Hamilton Hay in the early twentieth century. (See http://history.audlem.org/med/F57029.jpg for an extract from Marjorie Burton's "Nineteenth Century Audlem", written in 1973, describing the house and artist.) The lane running to the right across the photograph is Salford (that is, Salt Ford, taking its name from one of Cheshire's major exports), which was replaced as the main road east out of the village by the Woore Road turnpike in the first half of the nineteenth century.
