A lovely drawing of the Hall. I don’t know where it was situated but it looks idyllic. I have only heard of the ‘owd Hall’ in Ince. I take it that it was a time before coal mines. Correct me if that’s not true.

"Ince formerly possessed three halls, each bearing the name of the township; two of them, very much modernized, still stand. The first of these, now known as above mentioned as Hall of Ince, stands in Warrington Road, near the cemetery, and was restored about ten years ago, the old timber work at the back, which was then visible, being removed, and the wall rebuilt in brick. (fn. 34) The whole of the exterior of the building, which was formerly timber framed, is now stuccoed and otherwise modernized, but the roofs retain their old stone slates. The building is now divided into three houses."

Ince Hall - Ince Old Hall - Ince New Hall - Peel Hall - Westwood Hall.

That's at least five 'halls', and none of them belonged to Ince.
