This Hall was built in 1736 by Sir Darcy Lever and designed in the Georgian style of the time by Giocomo Leoni. There was probably another more ancient Hall on the site previously, similar to Middleton's tudor Tonge Hall nearby, the remains of which can still be seen today but there is little record of this. The manor of Alkrington was purchased by the Lever family in 1627* who went on to buy several surrounding estates making them one of the wealthiest families in the south of Lancashire. The last family member John Lever died with no heirs in 1834 and the Hall and estate was then sold on to owners who reduced the estate by selling off much of the land.
