Lyme Cage is thought to have been constructed to the design of Venetian architect Giacomo Leoni on the site of a hunting tower on a ridgetop in Lyme Park, north-east Cheshire. The listing describes it as 'Formerly hunting tower cum gatehouse, later park keeper's house and prisoners' lock-up: Origins c.1580, taken down 1734 by George Platt, rebuilt 1737 by Peter Platt, perhaps to a design by Leoni for Peter Legh X'. It is listed Grade II*.
