Over 400 years old... 
Prenton was originally 'Prestune', a
Celtic name meaning a forest 3 miles
wide by 3 miles long
The local Celts, were known as
Cornovii, and are known to have been
foresters and farmers. Given the
location on the Wirral they would have
had an abundance of local produce.
The Saddle Club was part of a larger
farm called lower farm. The farm was
tied to nearby Prenton Hall which is
listed in the Doomsday Book. Starting
life as a winter shelter tucked down
below a shallow ridge, then changing
to a Small Mill.
Eventually to a full working Farm with
a large selection of live stock , it
stayed like this for many years till
the late 50s, moving
full over to a Riding stables, sadly
in the 70s the farm was sold off, and
broken up in to separate areas.
The inside of the building is full of
fantastic olde worlde features with a
Fantastic vaulted ceiling in the Main
bar. Black Beams with White Daub walls
through out the rest of the club.
Why not visit us we would love to meet
you.
