Farm buildings at Croxteth Hall dated 1687 and still a working farm. The living accommodation for the farm workers is placed above the usual farm stores. The Hall was the home of the Earls of Sefton from about 1575 until the death of the last earl in 1972 and Home Farm was the Earl's favourite, an opportunity to keep and show fine and unusual farm animals. This tradition continues today, with the Farm holding a collection of some of Britain's rarest breeds of livestock, including cattle sheep and pigs which is open to the public daily, a particular favourite with children.
