Found it, the reason we thought the Hall was to be built in Rock Park was that in Harvey Lonsdale Elmes's (the architect) fathers memoirs listed that Elmes had been involved with a building for William Irlam in 1845 which was described as 'a villa at Rock Ferry for William Irlam'.

However since the Elmes family came from down south, it was always going to be possible that Wirral was Rock Ferry dunno

Did you see the wonderful pannelling in some rooms?

I have been inside Raby Hall several times. The society has done a magnificent job in keeping the tradtional look of the hall..and renovating the orginal works with sympathy to its style.


how did you get inside raby hall

Strange noises at 2am in an old house are not unusual; even modern houses move with a change of temperature.


Carpe diem.

Sounds like a ghost.

At home,we had the sound of light switches turning on and off for years during the nights. We thought it was our parents and much later, it came out that they thought it had been us, the children. ghost
