Historical Description
The village of Hyde Chapel, or, as it is now generally denominated, Gee Cross; it obtained its primary name from a chapel for dissenters, which, with a solitary house, were the only structures here within these 40 years. This village now resembles a small town, and the houses range along each side of the road for nearly a mile.
Near Hyde Chapel, in a romantic situation, on the banks of a small river, is Hyde Hall, the seat of George Hyde Clark, Esq. a branch of the Clarendon family. The house, which is an ancient brick edifice, repaired with a plain front, is surrounded with bold swelling eminences, which gradually slope to the water’s edge.
A short distance from the last-mentioned place is Harden Hall, formerly the residence of the Arden family, but at present occupied as a farm-house. This edifice, which is surrounded with a mote, consists of a centre and two wings, built in the form of the letter H; it is situated on the brow of a steep hill, and is reported to have been once occupied by the famous John of Gaunt, though the date 1558, which appears on the building, invalidates this report. This house contains a great number of paintings, many of which were brought here from Utkington Hall, near Delamere Forest; their general merit does not amount to mediocrity. The following, however, appear to be the most worthy of notice:—Democritus and Heraclitus, the Wise Men’s Offering, Queen Eleanor and Fair Rosamond, the Grecian Daughter, Pluto and Cerberus, and the burning of Troy; amongst the portraits are Lord Chancellor Egerton, Sir Thomas More, Sir Kenelm Digby, Sir John and Lady Done, the Lord Keeper Coventry, copied from Johnson, by Lupo; Judge Clynch, in his robes, by Ravenscroft; Duke Hamilton, the Earl of Warwick, Oliver Cromwell, James the Second, Charles the Second, and Mrs. Lane, with the motto, "Sic, sic juvat ire sub umbra" This lady, after the battle of Worcester, by her address with which she managed the escape of Charles II. through the midland counties to the sea; may be considered as the principal means of the escape of that monarch; and appears to have made a considerable impression on his gratitude, as the following letter written by him will testify, the original of which is in the possession of a gentlemen at Manchester.
" Mrs. Lane, I have hitherto deferred writing to you, in hope to be able to send you somewhat els besides a letter; and I believe it troubles me more that I cannot yett doe it, than it does you; though I doo not take you to be in a good condition longe to expect it. The truth is, my necessityes are greater than can be imagined; but I am promised they will be shortlye supplyed: if they are, you shall be sure to receave a share; for it is impossible I can ever forgett the great debte
owe you, which I hope I shall live to pay, in a degree that is worthy of me. In the mean time, I am sure all who love me will be kind to you, else I shall never think them so to your affectionate friend
Charles Rex."
"Paris, Nov. 23, 1652.
