Summary

Little now seems to remain of the house altered in 1756 by William Baker for its then owner, Mr Watson. Terrick Hall is now an uninspired, rendered, mid-nineteenth-century, Tudor-style mansion. The building’s three storeys stand tall, with pointed gables and dripstone surmounted windows. Its main front has an asymmetrically-placed, canted bay window, with three gables presiding above.

The Watson family remained until the early nineteenth century, but by 1851 Terrick was owned by William H. Poole and by circa 1871–1878 the house was occupied by the Sandbach family. They were eventually followed by Dumville Poole, who later removed to Marbury Hall, across the Cheshire border.

In 1890, the Oswestry Advertiser reported that Terrick had been purchased for £13,500 by Mr T.C. Waterhouse of Manchester. Mate, in 1906, commented that the house ‘has been much altered and added to in recent years’ suggesting additions that the new owner might have made.

Waterhouse does not appear to have been Terrick’s master for long since, by the turn of the twentieth century, the house was the seat of Charles Tertius Dugdale (1858–1933), a scion of the Lancashire family seated at Wroxall Abbey in Warwickshire from 1861. Dugdale took a keen interest in the educational welfare of the local inhabitants, being Secretary to the Whitchurch National Schools, besides serving as a local magistrate.

Terrick Hall was offered for sale in 1946, and the house later became an hotel which it remained into the late twentieth century. The house has now been divided into flats.
