Cronton Hall
The name of the township of Cronton is of Saxon origin meaning 'settlement of crows'. It lies within the parish of Farnworth, 7 miles west of Warrington, 5 miles south of Prescot and 4 miles south of St Helen's. The manor formed part of the ancient Barony of Widnes until about 1250 and its lands passed through a succession of owners until the Wright family eventually became sole owners in the mid seventeenth century. Successive generations of the family lived at Cronton Hall until 1821 when it was sold to Mr Bartholomew Bretherton of Rainhill who enlarged the house and grounds. Cronton Hall is a prime example of the 'Queen Anne' style house and is now the centre of the Town End Conservation Area.

Cronton Cross, Town End, Cronton.
A medieval cross shaft located on the corner of Hall Lane and Smithy Lane, Cronton. At least one step has sunk below ground level, the second step is made up of five large sandstone blocks and the third step out of four which then supports a square shaft base and a sandstone shaft. The cross itself has been known to be missing for over a hundred years and was originally sited opposite Cronton Hall. This may have been a stopping off place or weeping stone where the funeral procession stopped to rest on route to Farnworth Chapel.
