Hallwood was a mansion house situated to the south of the village of Halton, Cheshire, England.

The remaining wing is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building;[2] the former stables are listed at Grade II.[3]

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.[4] By the 17th century it had become the birthplace and home of Sir John Chesshyre.[5] In the 19th century the building was used as a school called Hallwood Academy.[6] It is now a public house.[7]
