Hesketh Hall

[said]

Is Hesketh Hall open to the Public? I thought it only had one open day a year.

"Historic Meols Hall in Southport has today been awarded £125,000 from the Government’s Culture Recovery Fund." The other site.

It has been open in the past as part of the National Heritage Days, it also operates as a Wedding Venue.

But the hall itself is not open to the public - so what is the funding for? Who is the present Lord Hesketh? Is there one?

Not much info I can find, this link gives some info.

Roger Fleetwood Hesketh last name I remember died in in 1987, he had 3 children Laura, Sara (died in 1984) & Robert (died in 2004). Presumably Robert took any title, he had 4 children, Violet, Anna, Francis & Mary no idea who currently owns the hall or has any title attached to it.

When Robert died in 2004, everything went to his son Francis. He was very young at the time and it was held in trust until he was 18. It seems as if his mum is still running things at the hall, so I guess that he's not 18 yet.

In regard to the funding, I found this:

Basically it's for restoration and conservation.

Found a bit on my link, he was born in 1992
