SPEKE HALL, SPEKE, LIVERPOOL, MERSEYSIDE, ENGLAND.
SPEKE HALL IS A WOOD-FRAMED WATTLE-AND-DAUB TUDOR MANOR HOUSE IN SPEKE, LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND. IT IS ONE OF THE FINEST SURVIVING EXAMPLES OF ITS KIND. SET IN A MOST UNUSUAL PLACE ON THE BANKS OF THE RIVER MERSEY. RESTORED AND BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE IN THE 19TH CENTURY, IT IS A UNIQUE AND BEAUTIFUL MIXTURE OF TUDOR SIMPLICITY AND VICTORIAN AESTHETICS.
BUILT BY THE DEVOUT CATHOLIC NORRIS FAMILY - KEEN TO IMPRESS VISITORS WITH THE GRANDEUR OF THEIR HOME AND IN PARTICULAR THE MAGNIFICENT GREAT HALL - THIS BEAUTIFUL BUILDING HAS WITNESSED MORE THAN 400 YEARS OF TURBULENT HISTORY. FROM THE TUDOR PERIOD WHEN A SECRET PRIEST HOLE WAS AN ESSENTIAL FEATURE, TO YEARS OF NEGLECT AND DECAY IN THE 18TH AND 19TH CENTURIES, AND THEN BEING DRAGGED INTO THE VICTORIAN ERA OF IMPROVEMENT, THE HALL HAS SEEN IT ALL.
IN THE 21ST CENTURY, SPEKE HALL AND ITS SURROUNDING ESTATE NOW PROVIDE A REAL OASIS FROM THE HURLY BURLY OF MODERN LIFE. AS YOU COME THROUGH THE GATES, YOU CAN ENJOY ALL THAT SPEKE HALL TO OFFER. THE HALL IS SURROUNDED BY BEAUTIFUL RESTORED GARDENS AND PROTECTED BY A COLLAR OF WOODLAND.
