"The best example of a working country estate in the North West" - NWTB Standing now in a large country park, Croxteth Hall shows fine examples of building work from the reigns of Queen Anne and of Edward VII. In 1702 the Molyneux family – second only in importance to the Earls of Derby – moved to croxteth and built the striking red brick west wing which has a splendid central doorway with trophy of arms above. Some two hundred years later the family rebuilt the north wing. In 1952 a fire badly damaged all but one of the well-pannelled Queen Anne rooms, but the Edwardian suites and the grand staircase survived. There are family portraits an fine furniture. The estate has three main pay in attractions - The Historic Hall, Croxteth Home Farm and The Victorian Walled Garden. The 500 acre country park is free.
