Poynton Hall on the Censuses

[Jayson]

Hi

Can anyone find Poynton Hall, Poynton in the census returns?

Need to know who the various families were who lived there.

Many thanks

Jay

The original Poynton Hall was demolished in 1830, with the exception of the two towers. A more modern house was built nearby and called Poynton Towers. This was demolished in the 1950's.

From Bagshaw's 1850 Directory:  "Poynton Hall, 1/2 mile N.E. from the church, a handsome stuccoed mansion, situated in a beautiful park, ornamented with a fine sheet of water, is the seat of Samuel Christy Esq., M.P. Poynton Towers is a castellated residence, the seat of Isaac Hawden Esq."
