Bank Hall is a Grade II* Listed Building and is in the category A Section of the Buildings at Risk Register for Lancashire. This indicates that Bank Hall is in "immediate risk of further rapid deterioration".[1] The Bank Hall mansion house is a fine example of Jacobean architecture and is situated to the south of the village of Bretherton, Lancashire. The River Douglas runs through the west of the Bank Hall estate alongside the West Branch of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. The present building of Bank Hall was first built in 1608 by the Bannister Family, who were evicted from their family seat at Prestatyn Castle in Wales in 1240.[2][3] There is believed to have been a timber structure on the site prior to the 1608 construction.

Bank Hall was extended during the 18th and 19th centuries by the many descendants throughout the family tree, which included the Banisters, Fleetwoods, Leghs and the Kecks (later becoming Legh-Keck). The main extensions being in 1832-1833 to the design of the architect George Webster (1797-1864) (who was also the architect for the since demolished Penwortham Priory.)[4]

The Banister Family

For centuries Bank Hall was the manorial residence of the Banisters, who where known as the 'Lords of the manor of Bretherton.' [5] In 1608 the Bannister Family built the first phase of the present Bank Hall building and demolished part of the timber structure of the old Bank Hall building, the new build was a rectangular-shaped building and had two rooms to the east and a room and staircase to the west with a grand hall in the centre with a screen and grand fireplace. (The Great Hall is believed to have been similar to the neighbouring Rufford Old Hall's Great Hall.) It is also believed that there was a wooden building extension onto where the east wing is today during the 1608 building's construction. The Banisters gained their wealth from farming and leasing their land off to tenants.

Legh Keck

The 1832-1933 extensions were designed by the Architect George Webster who had been ordered to design the grand and lavish extensions by George Anthony Legh Keck, who was the last resident owner of Bank Hall. It is thought that during the occupation of Legh Keck, the Aga Khan visited Bank Hall. After the death of his wife Elizabeth (who was also his first cousin) in 1837 and himself in 1860, Legh-Keck left no heir, so Bank Hall then passed to Legh-Keck's Sister-in-law and her husband who was Thomas Powys, 3rd Lord Lilford. There is new evidence of a conntction with the Fleetwood and Leigh Family with the Hargreaves Family from Ormerod House, Burnley.[6]

Lord Lilford

Bank Hall is still in the Lilford Estates today and the current Lord Lilford resides in South Africa and Jersey. Lord Lilford also owned the family seat of Lilford Hall in Northamptonshire. After the death of Legh-Keck, Bank Hall was used as a holiday home by the Lilford Family until the late 1800s and was then leased out by Lord Lilford to Sir Harcourt Clare and his family. The Lilford Family also have connections with Heskin Hall, Heskin, Lancashire by where the Lilfords lived upon till the divorce of Lady and Lord Lilford in 1969.

Sir Harcourt Clare

Sir Harcourt was the second ever Clerk to Lancashire County Council.[7] He was previously Clerk to Liverpool City Council before taking up the post at the Lancashire Offices.[8] He moved to Bank Hall with his wife and his daughter Dorothy. The family are known for their involvement with the surrounding communities, often hosting garden parties in the grounds at Bank Hall. They are also known for having many types of pekingese dogs such as Japanese Spaniels with their very own groom and trainer to care for them. [9] In 1920 Sir Harcourt was also the clerk to the Lancashire Asylums Board and controlled Brockhall, Langho, near Blackburn for the Lancashire Asylums Board. in 1922, the position of Divisional Commissioner was offered to Sir Harcourt Clare, who was then 'Clerk of the Peace and the Clerk to the County Council of Lancashire' but he declined this position due to the position he held at the time.

The Clare Family are all buried next to each other in the graveyard at St John the Baptist, Parish church in Bretherton. There are three headstones in the shape of a cross, the first nearest the church is of Sir Harcourt and reads:

"In Memory of Sir Harcourt Everard Clare.KT. Died March 1st 1922 In His Sixty-Eighth Year"[10]

Edward Frederick Crippin

The Second tenant was Edward Frederick Crippin who was a rich businessman from Wigan who owned Bryn Hall Colliery in Ashton-in-Makerfield. Unfortunately he died a year later at the hall after his tenancy began.[11] He was the tenant who renovated the Bank Hall sanitation systems.

The Seddon-Brown Family

The next tenants were the Seddon-Brown family, Lieutenant Cornel Sir Norman Seddon-Brown was the owner of a very successful Cotton Mill business in Lancashire which had mills scattered across the county.

On the 1st April 1908, Captain Norman Seddon Brown was one of the officers promoted from the 1st Volunteer Battalion to the 5th Battalion of the Manchester Regiment, they were all appointed to the battalion with rank and precedence as in the Volunteer Force. [12] 1st January 1936 Norman Brown was knighted in the New Year's Honours List. Sir Norman Brown was a former chairman of Wigan Constitutional Association.[13] Shortly after on the 17th January 1936, Sir Norman Brown abandoned the use of his surname of Brown, and changed his surname to Seddon-Brown. [14] On 20th November 1940 Norman Martin Seddon-Brown, Regiment number (154230) was given the title of a Lieutenant. [15] In 1938 Sir Norman and Lady Seddon-Brown moved to live at a house called Escowbeck, at Caton, and the hall lay vacant yet again.[16]

In 1940 Dennis Seddon-Brown, the youngest son of Colonel Sir Norman and Lady Seddon-Brown, (who then lived in Caton,) was promoted to the title of Captain in the Royal Artillery, Serg't.[17]

World War II

The outbreak of war saw the army billeted at Bank Hall and they manned all the movement of the ports between Barrow-in-Furness in the North and Holyhead in Wales. This included Liverpool which was the main port to Europe of its time due to the Trans-Atlantic Route.

Post War

After the War Bank Hall was handed back to the Lilford Estates, who kept their estate office in the East Wing of the House until 1972 when the house was vacated.[18] In March 2008 a member of the Bank Hall Action Group found a date stamp, which still bares the date from when it was last used which was "6th August 1945" This item along with many others which have yet to be found will have been 'disposed' in the grounds of Bank Hall when the war ended in 1945.

Bank Hall Action Group

In 1995 the Bank Hall Action Group are a 100% voluntary group who formed with the purpose to raise the public awareness of Bank Hall and aim for Restoration. They have been working to the present day to raise funds by holding events throughout the year and also by raise awareness of the buildings importance and condition and the urgency for action to save the building. The Heritage Trust for the North West have played a vital part of helping the Bank Hall Action Group raise the awareness of Bank Hall and shall also run a visitor centre from Bank Hall when the building is restored[4].


Bank Hall in the media

Bank Hall's plea for restoration was highlighted when the building featured in the first series of BBC's Restoration program, on Friday 8th August 2003.[19] Bank Hall, described as a "beautiful and impressive Jacobean country house," competed with Brackenhill Tower (near Carlisle) and the Victoria Baths in Manchester. Over all Bank Hall came second in the series for the total number of votes.[20] Restoration Revisited (April, 2009) featured photos and videos of Bank Hall in the series update, but was not named in the program.[21]

Bank Hall was also a filming location for the 1969 film The Haunted House of Horror. The local Birkdale Palace Hotel in Southport was where the interior shots were filmed.[22]

The Clock Tower

A View of the Grade II* Listed Clock Tower that contains the Oak cantilevered staircase

The Bank Hall Clock Tower was first built in the late 17th Century and was later remodelled in the 1832-33 renovations of Bank Hall. The North East corner of the tower collapsed in the mid 1980's and has deteriorated ever since, loosing a clock face and the 3/4 of the statues from the battlements. Three of the corner decorative designs remain but the West elevation has a crack that has been held together by the scafforlding that the Action Group and English Heritage funded along with some emergency repairs to stabilise the tower in 2002.[23] What was left of the clock mechanisms where removed from the tower during 2002 and the lost statues and clock face parts where put into storage awaiting restoration. The Oak staircase still remains in the hall and in 2008 part of the staircase from the South elevation collapsed, but caused no damage to the balustrade.[24]

Future plans

In 2006 the Bank Hall Action Group confirmed that property developers Urban Splash were taken on board to help restore Bank Hall and develop a business plan to restore Bank Hall.[25] The Heritage Trust for the North West are also keen to develop the old Potting Sheds, Greenhouse and Walled Kitchen Garden to a heritage kitchen garden that shall also be open to the public with the rest of the leisure grounds that are home to the many specimen trees and flowers. The restoration of the shell of the building has been estimated to cost approximately £3 million.[1] It is hoped that if all the plans go to schedule then work may commence in 2010.[26]

The Bank Hall Estate

The Bank Hall Estate covers many acers surrounding the Bank Hall Mansion House, but there are many features within the estate which are listed below

Bank Bridge & Bank Bridge Warehouse

Bank Bridge is the bridge that carries the A59 road over the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and the River Douglas. The Warehouse was a storage yard for the estate and was where alot of the goods and crops from the farms where transported onto the canal boats to market. The Warehouse and yard is still used by the estates today.

Bank Hall Lodge

This is the building that can be seen on the corner of Bank Bridge and was the main gate house to the Bank Hall Mansion. It has a small bridge behind it which was restored in 2006 by the tenants. The building is still owned by the estate and is private property and no longer serves as an access road to Bank Hall due to the increasing volume of traffic on the A59 road. In 1913 when Sir Harcourt Clare was resident at Bank Hall the Royal Family were touring Lancashire and stopped to enquire about the health of Sir Harcourt who was unwell at the time. [27]

Bank Hall Farm

The Bank Hall Farm is situated opposite the potting sheds at the north end of the walled garden to the east of the house. The Farm house is still leased by the Estates today. The Farm Yard has various out buildings and which once crompromised of the 60 meter Barn, Pig styes (now demolished), a small storage barn for the farm house, chicken house and a building that housed the Estate offices, Blacksmith, Forge and Coach House.

The Barn

The Bank Hall Barn is a grade II listed Elizabethan long barn, it was converted in 2004 following many years of neglect into residential dwellings.[28] The Barn measures 60 meters in length and once housed the farm animals, the hay barn and farm machienary.

Coach House Building

The Estate Offices, Blacksmith, Forge and Coach House was housed in a building in the centre of the farm, The Estate offices moved into the hall after the army left at the end of the second world war. The Blacksmith and forge where used for many years by the gamekeepers for their 'shoot' in the bank hall estate and this section of the building is still used to this very day. The Coach house was also left vacant and used to be where the Coaches where maintained and kept (later used by the Seddon-Brown Family for housing their Bentley's! The building was mostly vacant until the Bank Hall Action Group where given permission by the estates to use the Coach House for their refreshments area and the Estate offices as a visitor centre which opened in the year 2000.[29] Unfortunately on the 20th January 2007 the visitor centre sufferd a fire causing mainly smoke damage and a temporary visitor center was housed in the Coach House.[30]

Gardener's House

This building was the first house seen on the carriage drive towards Bretherton, the building today has been largely extended and now houses the 'Bank Hall Kindergarten'.

The Gamekeeper's Lodge

This was the next building that could be seen on carriage drive, it was sold on 11 January 2007 then demolished in 2008 and replaced by a modern single story building.[31]

The New Lodge

This is the building at the end of Carriage Drive by the gate and was where for many years The Thompson Family lived. The building is today leased by the estate

Bank Hall Windmill

The Bank Hall Windmill was first built in 1741.[32] Local maps from 1845 show "Bank Mill," which was the old windmill, and is situated between Bank Bridge and Plocks Farm (just off the A59 road) within the Bank Hall Estate. The windmill was converted into private housing in the 1950s, the kneen family lived in the north west wing of Bank Hall while the work was in progress.

Features Within the Gardens

Swimming Pool

During the 1930's the Sir Seddon-Brown had an out door swimming pool built for his children. The pool was only uncovered by the Bank Hall Action Group in 1998, whilst clearing the Gardens from brambles and weeds, the pool had been derelict for some time but the brick walls and stone steps remain to what was a rare luxary of it's time.

Walled Garden

Bank Hall Walled Garden and Greenhouse (2009)

The Walled Garden is situated to the east of Bank Hall and contains a Greenhouse and Potting Sheds which run the length of the north wall, and a heated outdoor wall which runs a quater of the east wall up to a door which lead to the Orchards. The Gardeners of Bank Hall grew exotic plants and fruit trees in the greenhouses, while the outside walled garden was a kitchen garden. During the second World War the walled garden was ripped up and wooden army huts replaced the garden to house troops. The Heritage Trust for the North West would like to restore the walled garden, greenhouse and potting sheds to their formor glory as a 'Heritage Garden'.

The Conservatory

The Conservatory was situated on the west facing wall of the projecting wall from the east wing of the house. The original conservatory was tastefully in design with the architecture of the house featuring finials and balls to keep the design. The original conservatory was replaced by a more modern consevatory in the early 1900's and was demolished during the 1950's.

Maiden's Walk

Maiden's Walk is a raised embankment near the Bank Hall Barns which is lined with Lime Trees. The Walk starts from the Main Driveway to the front of the house heading west and ends within the woodlands but once connected to a path connecting to the back of the house.

Yew Avenue

Bank Hall Cricket Grounds Field (2009)

There was once a walk way to the back of the Bank Hall Gardens lined by an avenue of Yew trees. The Yew avenue was an important feature in the gardens as it connected the Hall's gardens with the cricket ground at the back of the leisure gardens.

Pond

The pond was situated to the west of the Yew Avenue. It was drained during World War II by the army when they where stationed at Bank Hall. The Pond was abandoned and many trees grew from the silt at the bottom. In summer 2009, members from the Bank Hall Action Group cleared the sycamore trees from the pond area to create a sunken garden which was planted with native flowers and ferns, snowdrops and various plants from around the Bank Hall Estate.


Flowers

Bank Hall Snowdrop Carpet Feb 2009

There are many flowers at Bank Hall. The main ones that have been identified are:

  • Snowdrop- There are many varieties of snowdrop at Bank Hall, some of them rare; those have been removed off site for protection until the hall is restored.
  • Daffodil- There are many varieties also of daffodil that dominate the grounds after the snowdrops have finished blooming.
Bank Hall Daffodils April 2009
  • Bluebell- The bluebells come in many shades of colour, including blue, purple, pink and white.
  • Primrose- Bank Hall was known locally for the masses of primroses that grew in the grounds back in its time of inhabitance; unfortunately due to the 1980s plantation of trees the primroses have died off. They are making a comeback with conservation action being taken to ensure they continue to grow.
  • Clematis - A giant clematis plant grows over an archway by the North Wing of the house; it had spread to the perimeter fence and created a wall. (The arch plant was pruned back in March 2009).
  • Red Campion- One of the many flowers that dominates the rear gardens in the summer, which creates a meadow effect with the long grasses.
  • Rhododendron- There are many rhododendrons scattered amongst the Bank Hall estate and flank the carriage drive. They flower with colours like magenta, purple and a white (thought to be Rhododendron decorum subsp. diaprepes). Some of the rhododendrons in the leisure gardens have been pruned back so new growth can reshape the bushes. Rhododendron catawbiense, Rhododendron macrophyllum.

Fern

There are many types of fern at Bank Hall, some of which have even been growing in the building since early 1980s when the roof collapsed on the west wing. The ferns are still being identified.

Trees

The oldest specimen tree at Bank Hall is the English Yew which is over 550 years old, predating the present house. The tallest specimen tree at Bank Hall is the Wellingtonia that towers over the woodland at the back of the house. Other trees that can be found in the gardens of bank hall are:

  • Atlas Cedar
  • Beech
  • Cherry Tree
  • Coast Redwood [33]
  • Common Yew - There is a 550+ year old specimen in the grounds of Bank Hall that could be the oldest one in Lancashire!
  • Deodar Cedar
  • Dawn Redwood - It is thaught that due to the rarity of this tree, that in the early 1900s explorers brought back some specimens from China to Kew Gardens in London and some were given as a gift to the residents at Bank Hall at the time.
  • Hawthorn
  • Holly
  • Hornbeam
  • Horse Chestnut- There are a few specimens in the grounds but the main one is on the Bank of the River Douglas which has grown into a wall like shape with many branches creating the wall effect.

  • Lime Tree - Some of these trees flanked the driveway to the front porch and 'maidens walk'. The beautiful carriage drive is still lined by the tall lime trees today.
  • Magnolia - These are the three trees that are growing out the side of the East Wing. They were planted to grow up the wall and since been left to do as they please they are now growing from the buildings foundations.
  • Oak
  • Scots pine
  • Silver Birch
  • Sycamore - These are seen as a weed at Bank Hall and damaged other trees in the past due to their fast growth and competition for space. Some old specimens are being kept but trees that are cut down are replaced with specimen trees.
