Peel Hall was a fine Jacobean mansion, described in 1610 as a 'dwellinge house with all housinge belonging to the same with the Hempyarde, Towre trees, Broome croft, Dove house, two gardens, two orchards, Pooles Panns and Connyes Hopyard'. Peel Hall was host to King William III in 1690 though by 1810 it had been reduced to farmhouse. An earlier hall with a medieval peel tower is known to have occupied the site. At an unknown date the Peel was demolished and the materials re-used in the construction of new buildings near the site of the present hall. (Revealing Cheshire's Past)
