Seneschal's House

The Seneschal's House stands at the corner of Halton Brow and Main Street in Runcorn, Liverpool City Region. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.
The house is dated 1598, which makes it the oldest standing building in the Liverpool City Region. It was latterly a farmhouse although was originally built by the judge John King, called to the bar in London in the late 16th century and was originally known as "John King's New House"; the occupation of the original owner of the house, led to a later owner, Geoffrey Barraclough, Professor of History at Liverpool University in the mid 20th century coining the current name of the house. The house was, in fact, inhabited originally by a seneschal, that is the original owner, John King.
