The recent death of Lord Leverhulme has raised questions about the future of Thornton Hough Manor estate and its sale is due in December. There is speculation, as reported in the press recently, that a consortium will build a hotel and conference centre on the site. Rumours have even circulated that a former Beatle make take up residence - George Harrison recently stated his intention to move elsewhere after a stabbing attack on him and his wife at his home. Stanley Allan of Thornton Hough adds, ' It would be comforting to think either the National Trust or english Heritage would take over the Manor and access could be maintained for local and Wirral people in general.This would be a fitting memorial to its former Lord and what he would have wished.'
