YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWoolton Hall, a former country house located in Woolton, was built in 1704 and extensively renovated in 1772 by the influential architect Robert Adam the building is praised as the finest example of Robert Adam's work in Northern England.
We were invited along for a tour and we are so glad we did. Big thank you to the caretaker for the insights and the information. Amazing what stories a building tells.
Throughout its 300 year history, the building was the residence of a number of notable figures including the Earl of Sefton and Liverpool shipowner Frederick Richards Leyland.
During the later part of the 20th, the building went through a number of uses eventually becoming a school in the 1950s and later being abandoned with plans for its demolition. A campaign against its destruction was successful and the hall is now a Grade I listed building.
Early records indicate that the land of Woolton Hall had been occupied since 1180 when the area of Much Woolton (now called Woolton) was under the lordship of the holy Catholic order of the Knights Hospitaller who held the land for almost 360 years until the English Reformation. In the 16th century, Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries suppressed the Knights Hospitaller leading to the land being confiscated and then further restored by Mary I. The land was permanently confiscated from the order in 1559 under Elizabeth I and was kept by the crown until 1609. Eventually, the land came under the ownership of the Brettarghs of Holt reputed to have acquired it from an ancient family named de Woolton.
