Lyme Cage was built as a hunting lodge and after years of disuse has been recently restored.
You get there by climbing the small hill in front of the house. The short walk to the Cage is pleasant and offers very nice views of the Cheshire plains.

Dominating the market place, this church has sections dating from the 14th century, and in fact the names of rectors appear in local documents from the late 12th century onwards. It is likely that the site has been occupied by a place of worship from Norman times.
The present church's structure initially comprised a nave, tower, aisles and two chancels which were in the Decorated style of Gothic architecture.

The burial ground contains interesting grave stones, some with beautiful inscriptions.
