Situated just outside Liverpool, this fine timber-framed house was built by the Norris family in the 16th century and is now owned by the National Trust.
The Practice was commissioned to survey the building and report on its structural condition. The inspection revealed serious defects, rain penetration having caused degradation of the main timber-framing members.
A major programme of repair has been carried out by the Practice over a number of years, the work being phased sequentially allowing the Hall to remain open to the public throughout. Our improvements to the visitor facilities include a tearoom, shop, lavatories, public stair and Custodian's flat. An information centre an exhibition space is housed in the repaired Stable Block.
Awards: Europa Nostra Diploma of Merit
Client: Merseyside County Museums & The National Trust
