Wallasey Old Hall, or Wallasey Manor House, was built in 1604 and was the seat of the Meoles family. The Hall stood in Church Hill and the site is now occupied by the New Rectory. The houseplate is in Wallasey Central Library and bears the date 1604 and the initials ‘I. B.’. A stone from the Hall is incorporated into the new Rectory. It has a Latin inscription which says in translation ‘Thomas Swinton had the brick part of this house built in 1695’. Harold Hopps based this picture on a drawing by architect and historian Edward Cox.
