Where to stay in Penketh
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Penketh Hall and Brookside Farmhouse are listed buildings, not places that take bookings. Warrington town centre is about three miles off, which is the distance a booking here has to cover, and the parish itself carries no lodging on its record beyond private lettings. Bewsey and Woolston face the same shortage. A stay that wants the Church of St Mary, St Joseph's Church and the Moore Lane Swing Bridge within reach can still be based in Warrington without much loss.

About Penketh
What are the main landmarks in Penketh?
Nine entries carry Penketh. Three are churches, the Church of St Mary, St Paul's and St Joseph's Church, and a War Memorial and a Milestone account for two more. Penketh Hall heads the domestic group, with the L Shaped Barn At Penketh Hall listed in its own right and Brookside Farmhouse beside it.
The Moore Lane Swing Bridge is the outlier, working structure on a sheet otherwise made of churches, farms and markers.
What is the history of Penketh?
Lancashire came first. Penketh is entered as part of the historic county of Lancashire before it became a civil parish in the Borough of Warrington, in Cheshire, and the emblem it uses is three kingfishers. The protected list holds Penketh Hall and Brookside Farmhouse.
No founding year is recorded for any of it, and the record gives the suburb no date of absorption into Warrington either.
Where is Penketh?
Penketh is a civil parish in Cheshire, about three miles from Warrington town centre, with the Moore Lane Swing Bridge among its listed structures.
