The house was built in 1856 for Christopher Bushell, a Liverpool wine merchant.[1] The architect, who designed and oversaw the work on the Hall was Alfred Waterhouse. It was "an exceptionally early work", designed before his first major commission, the Manchester Assize Courts.[2] Extensions to the house were built in the 20th century for Sir Percy Bates, chairman of the Cunard Line,[1] and the estate now has cottages and a Chapter House. Over the years, the building and grounds had been used as offices, hosting weddings and corporate events. The house has since been a privately owned family home.
Architecture
Hinderton Hall is constructed in coursed rock-faced sandstone, with ashlarquoins and dressings.[3] Its plan is approximately square. The house has tall gables, and steep roofs in patterned slate. At the corner of the entrance front is a thin tower. Internally, the entrance hall contains the staircase, with the reception rooms grouped around it.[1] Waterhouse designed three lodges and a stable block in a similar style.[1] The house is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building,[3] as is the estate’s entrance lodge and back cottage.
