History of Marbury Hall and Parkland

Leslie Fink applied for consent to demolish Marbury Hall in July 1968 and consent was given towards the end of 1968. The Hall was demolished in January 1969.
This History of Marbury Hall and Parkland has been compiled by FoAM members Frances Findlay and Alan Redley. Information about the history of the Hall and the surrounding Parkland is frequently requested by visitors, so we have made more of our collected research material accessible here.
Frances Findlay, Chris Moseley, Nathan Rathbone and Alan Redley carried out the research, with help from local historian Geoff Buchan (who kindly agreed to use of material from his book ‘BELMONT The House That Jack Built, 1996)’. FoAM member Clive Brookes has contributed research about the Second World War Years and Mary Jeeves has researched the gardens and arboretum at Marbury. Also, letters and articles in the Northwich Guardian have resulted in new information coming to light from its readers. Thank you to all those who have supplied information or helped in other ways.
