Grade 2 listed building at 18, High Street, Altrincham. The Grey family, who became Earls of Stamford in 1628, were domiciled at Dunham Massey Hall, near Altrincham, where they remained until the death - without issue - of the 10th Earl, who arranged that the property pass to the National Trust. The 1st Earl had been Baron Grey of Groby (a village in Leicestershire) and the name is commemorated as adjacent Groby Road which runs past St Vincent's Church to the edge of Bowdon. Dunham Massey Estate, with its Hall and deer park, has become much used by townspeople and visitors, and the Stamford name has been used on pubs and public buildings. It is also reflected in Stamford Park, close to the centre, which was once part of the ancient Hale Moss and was gifted to the town by the Earl of Stamford in 1878.
