In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Mere like this:
MERE, a township, with a village, in Rostherne parish, Cheshire; 2½ miles NW of Knutsford. Acres, 2,438. Real property, £4,984. Pop., 556. Houses, 112. The manor, with Mere New Hall, belongs to T. J. L Brooke, E sq. The Hall is a fine edifice, in the Tudor style; and stands amid richly ornate grounds. A lake of about 50 acres is in front of the mansion, and gave origin to the name Mere. A chapel of ease is at Hoo-Green.
