STORETON STORETON HALL BARN The proposed development site is centred upon the remains of Storeton Hall, in the hamlet of Storeton. The small settlement area is located west of the sandstone ridge of Storeton Hill, to No heritage designation the west of Bebington and in the centre of the Wirral peninsula. This building is probably a former threshing barn, used for processing and storing The historic township of Storeton comprised the villages of Great Storeton and Little Storeton grain and straw or hay. It is constructed of brick on a stone base. within the parish of Bebington and the Wirral Hundred, in the old county of Cheshire. Although not Listed, the barn has historical and aesthetic value as an eighteenth Storeton is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as ‘Stortone’ when it was held by Nigel century agricultural building. de Burcy. The manor passed through various hands and eventually, in 1282, Joan or Jane de Baumville who married Sir William de Stanley. He went on to acquire the entire manor and The west elevation of the barn faces the Lever Causeway road and provides a key the Stanley family’s association with Storeton was to last almost six hundred years. focal point and an important element within the rural / agricultural setting in Storeton. HERITAGE ASSETS
The character of Storeton is strongly defined by the use of local sandstone, quarried from Storeton Ridge, along with some early brickwork. Despite this, aside from Storeton Hall, there is only one other Listed building in the hamlet.
Therefore, given the importance of the historic buildings on the site, a key driver for the scheme was to ensure that they form the focal point of the development. The removal of the majority of agricultural buildings on the site will allow for the Hall to be viewed from many angles, befitting its historical value.
The tithe map of 1840 indicates a cruciform farmhouse as an occupied dwelling, while the medieval solar block and the adjoining farm building are shown as an unoccupied L-shaped structure. The only other building shown in close proximity was Storeton Hall Barn.
STORETON HALL The remains of Storeton Hall are of national significance, reflected in both in the Grade II* Listed/Scheduled Monument designation as a Scheduled Ancient Monument and as a grade II* listed building. Storeton Hall is thought to date from c.1372 and is of exceptional significance as The Hall has been included on Historic England’s (formerly English Heritage) the remains of a medieval hall house, built of stone and later altered for farm use. Heritage at Risk register for a number of years. MASTER PLAN & 3 DEVELOPMENT PRINCIPLES
