The condition of the old hall then continued to deteriorate. The chapel was also at risk, and it was taken down and rebuilt at the side of Tabley House. What was not foreseen however was the expansion of industry in the area that was changing the land around the building, which was without modern foundations, and by the early 1900s the hall suffered further severe subsidence due to the extraction of brine from the Cheshire salt deposits nearby. As it started to crumble, eventually the hall faded from memory and all family heirlooms transferred to the 'new' manor across the fields.
