PLACENAME: Stortone (first mentioned 1086 in the Domesday Book). Big or large settlement. From Old Norse, storr. Stort 1175; Sturton 1341; Stoarton 1727.
Storeton Hall (c1360) has been a prominent feature since the Medieval period. It was built for William Stanley and is now a farm. Located toward the north of the historic core, it is a stone-built range of Medieval buildings with an H-plan, following the typical tripartite arrangement. 
Lever Causeway (1912-1914) is one of several planned avenues designed by Viscount Leverhulme. It links Storeton with Little Storeton. A mound at the south end of Storeton Hill may be a prehistoric (Bronze Age) burial mound. Back to the top | Back up to South Wirral | Back up to Merseyside |
