PLACENAME: Brunestath Court (first mentioned 1260). Old English 'Bruna-burgh', Bruna's river-bank or landing place from 'Brünan stæþa'. Brimstache 1275; Brunstach 1326; Bronstathe 1348; Brynstat 1387.
Brimstage Hall (1398) was built by Sir Hugh Hulse and his wife, who obtained a licence for an oratory. This may be the section at the south end of the present building. There has been much rebuilding of the structure. It is thought that the area was once a moated site (listed Grade I). Image courtesy of Liverpool Record Office. Burnt flint artefacts have been found in the south of the township, which could suggest activity here in the bronze age. Back to the top | Back up to South Wirral | Back up to Merseyside |
