In 1995 aerial photography showed evidence of a Roman practice fort near to Hoole Hall.

It is believed that the Roman road from Chester to Wilderspool (now part of Warrington) passed through the parish.

[7] Hoole was historically a township which was mostly in the ancient parish of Plemstall, which formed part of the Broxton Hundred of Cheshire.

In some cases, including Hoole, the civil functions were exercised by the township rather than the wider parishes.

In 1866, the legal definition of 'parish' was changed to be the areas used for administering the poor laws, and so Hoole became a civil parish.

The hall itself,[23] its attached conservatory built in the mid 19th century,[24] and the ha-ha wall and railings of the west terrace of the house[25] are Grade II listed buildings.
