The Deane’s were a very old established Rainhill family. In 1621, Thomas Deane, his wife Ann and son George held 7 acres of land. George purchased a further 27 acres in 1629 which passed to his son Edward in 1651.
A century later, descendant Edward Deane held 42 acres of land in Rainhill and Cronton. In 1844 the Deane’s House estate was sold to Richard Willis of Halsnead.
The building is listed on the Historic England website.
