Woolton Hall

Woolton Hall is a ruined country house located in Woolton, a suburb of Liverpool, England. The earliest parts of the house date to approximately the seventeenth century, but the majority dates from the early eighteenth century and from a remodelling undertaken between 1774 and 1780 by the architect Robert Adam.

The north wing of the hall was commissioned for Richard Molyneux, later fifth viscount Molyneux. The east wing dates from the seventeenth century or earlier and was extensively remodelled by Adam for the then owner, Nicholas Ashton. The porte-cochère in front of the east wing replaced a small porch and dates from c. 1865, as does the apsidal bay window of the north wing. Internally, the ground floor of the north wing contained a suite of rooms with early eighteenth century bolection panelling, and the east wing rooms were decorated with Adam plasterwork.

During the 20th century the hall went through a number of uses, eventually becoming a school in the 1950s, and later being abandoned with plans for its demolition. A campaign against its destruction was successful and the hall was made a Grade I listed building in 1982. Despite this, it continued to deteriorate and was declared at "immediate risk" by Historic England in 2021. Outbuildings were set alight in 2019, and in August 2025 the hall was gutted in another fire.
