Daresbury (house)

Daresbury is a historic country house located in Daresbury, Cheshire, England. It is most notably associated with the Reverend Charles Dodgson, better known as Lewis Carroll, the author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. Dodgson was born at Daresbury Parsonage, which was the rectory for All Saints' Church, Daresbury, where his father served as curate.

The original parsonage where Dodgson was born no longer exists. The current building on the site, also referred to as Daresbury Parsonage or simply Daresbury, dates from a later period. While not the exact building where Carroll spent his early years, it remains a site of historical and literary interest due to its association with him and his birthplace.

The house itself is a substantial structure, reflective of the importance of the parish within the Church of England system. It has undergone various alterations and renovations over the years. While not generally open to the public for regular tours, its significance to literary history makes it a point of interest for those visiting the area. The local church, All Saints', often highlights the Dodgson connection and may offer limited access or information relating to the house and the Dodgson family. Daresbury's association with Lewis Carroll contributes significantly to the village's identity and cultural heritage.
