The oldest standing building in the Liverpool City Region: the Seneschal's House

The Seneschal's House, built in 1598, stands at the corner of Halton Brow and Main Street in Runcorn, Liverpool City Region. It holds the distinction of being the oldest standing building in the region. Originally, it was known as 'John King's New House'. The Seneschal's House was inhabited by a seneschal, specifically John King, a judge called to the bar in London in the late 16th century. Latterly, the house was a farmhouse. The house was built with sandstone and it has a stone slate roof. At the front are three projections rising to the full height of the house. The central projection contains a porch; the others have bay windows with mullions. Each projection is surmounted by a gable and there are gables at each end of the house.
