Orford Hall THIS week in Yester Years, we look back to when Orford Hall was one of the most important buildings in Warrington. The residence of John Blackburne esquire, on present-day Battersby Lane provided a grand southern approach to the hall, which was home to the Blackburne family. The story of the hall and surrounding parkland, now known as Orford Park was told in a book The A-Z of Warrington penned by Warrington historian Janice Hayes. The hall itself was largely rebuilt around 1716 while John Blackburne (1693 to 1786) created its magnificent park lands.
