Does anyone have any information regarding Esless Hall?  Is it still around today?  Does anyone know anything about it's history?

Any information would be great!

Thanks

Hi there,

Rhostyllen is a village which lies approximately a mile or so South West of the town of Wrexham.

Unfortunately Esless Hall no longer exists and the area where I believe it to have been is now covered by an extensive housing estate,called---Esless Park.

I have done a Google search on Esless Hall but to no avail.However,Wrexham does have its own local history museum and they may be able to assist you.

You may also find something at the Denbighshire County Archives Office.www.denbighshire.gov.uk

Phone number,I believe, is 01978317973 and the e mail is archives@wrexham.gov.uk  -----these are the Wrexham museum contact details

Best of luck. :) :) :)

I know it is some time since you made this request but I have found an entry for Estless Hall in the Wrexham Encyclopaedia.  The correct name is Esclus Hall.  If you want more info, please let me know.

I can confirm without any doubt that Esless Hall is still going strong. Fortunately it is a listed building so even the relentless march of new housing estates cannot remove it.

The house was build around 1585. There is some evidence that Charles I and his son Charles II stopped briefly to visit the Royalist and then owner Sir Richard Lloyd.
