History

Former stables of Hallwood, now a function room

It originated as a moated house which was possibly the home of a keeper in the deer park to the south of Halton, which was probably built in the second half of the 15th century. Hallwood Manor was later known as Hallwood Farm.[3] By the 17th century it had become the birthplace and home of Sir John Chesshyre.[4] In the 19th century the building was used as a school called Hallwood Academy.[5] It is now a public house.[6]
