Liverpool & Merseyside - Castles, Cathedrals,
Monuments,
Stately Homes & Palaces
|
|
Since the stone age, man has been
creating majestic structures that we still marvel at
today.
Whether you are interested in ancient monuments,
battlefield sites,
re-enactments,
Roman and Norman forts and castles, Stately Homes, Country Houses, Historic
Cathedrals, Ruined Abbeys etc, this is the page that
should give you the information you need.
Here we try to list properties in
private ownership but open to the public (even if only
occasionally) as well as those in the care of the
National Trust or English/Scottish Heritage.
|
 |
We know that not all the
properties in Liverpool & Merseyside are listed.
Please help us
make this guide comprehensive by giving details of

Tudor half-timbered house
with rich interiors and fine gardens.
The atmospheric interior of this rambling
house spans many periods.
Originally built in 1530, its Great Hall and
priest hole date from Tudor times, while the
Oak Parlour and smaller rooms, some with
William Morris wallpapers, show the Victorian
desire for privacy and comfort. |
