Loyola Hall, Rainhill, Merseyside (Tracey Vickers)
The attached tree story photos were taken in the grounds of an old Jesuit retreat house in Rainhill, Merseyside,called Loyola Hall. Parts of the grounds are wooded and rather wild. The Jesuits were sold the building and land 90 years ago, but in May this year it closed as a spirituality centre. Before they were given the mansion, it belonged to a wealthy family called the Stapleton-Brethertons and was called Rainhill Hall from 1824. Bartholemew Breatherton came to the village in 1807 and the property was previously called Rainhill House, opposite an old coaching inn between Liverpool and Manchester. Some of the hall is Grade II listed and many of the old trees have a preservation order on them. The carvings in some of the older tree trunks may have been from any period of its history, as some trees are as old as the building. |
