St Andrew's medieval hospital and limekiln at Denhall is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the remains of a medieval charitable foundation and associated industrial feature. The hospital itself dates from the medieval period and represents an important example of institutional provision for the sick or poor in the countryside away from major urban centres. The limekiln, likely dating to the same general period or possibly later, indicates that lime production was undertaken at or near the site, either for local building work or as a source of income for the hospital's maintenance. The combination of these two elements on a single site provides evidence of both the social infrastructure and economic activities characteristic of medieval monastic and hospital establishments in Cheshire.
