History
During the medieval period the manor of Allerton was held by the
Lathom family. When assessments were made for the hearth tax in
1666, Allerton Hall was one of the larger houses in the parish of
Childwall with eight hearths; this was exceeded only by Speke Hall
with twenty-one hearths and Brettargh Holt with nine. The estate
was bought in 1736 by John Hardman and his brother James. John
Hardman was a merchant from Rochdale and it is likely that the
present house on the site originates from this time. In about 1779
the house was bought by the lawyer, philanthropist and
abolitionist, William Roscoe. Roscoe completed the building of the
house but had to sell it in 1816 when he became bankrupt.
During the American Civil War the mansion was rented by Charles
Kuhn Prioleau, an American landowner from South Carolina who
financially supported the Confederate States and who married Mary
Elizabeth Wright, daughter of the owner of the hall. In the early
part of the 20th century the building was owned by the Clarke
family who donated it to Liverpool City Council in 1927.
Opposite the Hall is all that remains of a petting zoo and the
walled area surrounds what used to be an aviary and a hothouse such
a shame it no longer exists.
