More about this scene
Begun in the mid 1830s, Walton Hall was to be both the family home and the country estate of Gilbert Greenall, a wealthy local brewer and prominent businessman. In the 1870s the hall was extended to accommodate the children of his second marriage and the enlarged household necessary now that he was Warrington's Member of Parliament and a baronet. By the death of Lord Daresbury, Sir Gilbert's son, in 1938, Walton had become a model agricultural estate. This view shows the original 1830s wing in Elizabethan style with its distinctive pinnacles (right), and the 1870s extension in Scottish baronial style (left).
