Leighton Hall was built between 1850-56 on the site of a medieval house by the Liverpool architect W.H. Gee for John Naylor, a liverpool banker who had aquired the estate in 1846-7, and who embarked on an ambitious programme of building, notably the church, Leighton Hall and Leighton Farm. the hall range was finished in 1851 and the interiors were executed by J.G. Crace to designs by A.W.N. Pugin (drawings for which are in the Victoria and Albert Museum) . There are Minton floor tiles and stained glass probably by Forrest and Bromley who made the glass for Leighton church. The great hall was designed to display Naylor's collection of paintings and sculpture, which included works by Turner, Landseer, Delaroche and Ansdell. A courtyard wing of 1852, attached to Leighton Hall Tower, was demolished in the early 20th century. John Naylor's grandson, Captain J.M. Naylor, sold Leighton Hall and the Estate in 1931.
