Can
anyone supply any pictures or information about
Greaves Hall in happier days?
We
are trying to create an archive of as much material
as possible.

The
Parish of North Meols (which included Churchtown, Crossens,
Marshside and Banks) has had its history dated back to
pre-conquest days. Known then as Otegrimeles, it was held
by Saxon Lords until the Norman Conquest. In between the
sea and the great Martin Mere, the narrow strip of arable
land that consituted North Meols passed on to William
De Coudrey. The son of William De Coudrey, Robert, built
the first Manor House in the Parish, Meols Hall, but the
area remained isolated and thus was very slow developing.
The cluster of cottages around the Church became known
as Churchtown and was for many centuries the most populated
area in North Meols. |
